When an archival institution makes a podcast, it is not just highlighting historical artifacts from its collection, but it is also creating a new artifact. And in some cases the assemblage of existing audio recordings – snippets of decades-old broadcasts or excerpts from local oral histories – can transform a podcast itself into a chronicle of previously uncollected or inaccessible documentations that preserve and contextualize historical events and cultural moments.
Ben Nadaff-Hafrey (The Last Archive, Revisionist History) moderates a panel including Bill Healy (Somebody, You Didn’t See Nothin), Mary Kidd (NYPL and Preserve This Podcast), Natalia Petrzela (Welcome To Your Fantasy, Past Present) and Renate Evers (LBI, Exile), who discuss how collecting organizations and scholars and podcast creators can utilize and make sense of the proliferation of-digital media and safeguard podcasts against digital obsolescence.
