Hi Kim,
I'm glad that I spotted your post from the forum!
I have been studying Finnish YouTube podcasts from the perspective of journalistic authority for my PhD dissertation. I would be happy to meet and discuss about your research on podcasts during your stay. I will be joining the seminar at the Swedish School of Social Science on April 1st where you will be giving a presentation, so we will meet at least then! You can also reach out to me via email before that (viljami.vaarala@helsinki.fi).
You can find my recently published article "Podcasting the Truth: Challenging journalistic knowledge and building epistemic authority in independent YouTube podcasts" on Media and Communication here (apparently we published in the same special issue).
best,

Hello ICA friends.
At any rate, just wondering if anyone else will be around for a possible meetup the week of March 31?
Thanks in advance.
