The Whisper Collective Podcast

Podcasting, eh? Everyone and their pandemic puppy seems to be making podcasts these days. To crowd the bandwagon even more, Research Whisperer Tseen Khoo (La Trobe University) invited some fab poddy colleagues to  help her create this meta-resource: a podcast about podcasting, through a researcher lens. In this episode, there's talk of the pros and cons of podcasting for a researcher, and it includes tales of  joyous, productive connections as well as professional vulnerability (and even terror). Tseen's savvy and uber-nerdy (in the best possible way) guests are Lauren Gawne, Ryan Gustafsson, and Inger Mewburn. This podcast was created as a resource for La Trobe University's RED team as part of their 'Communicating your research' program. Editing and production support was provided by Inger Mewburn and Matt Smith (@nightlightguy).

Welcome to this episode with Narelle Lemon and Desiree Dickerson. This episode was recorded on Monday 23rd Nov 2020, it was the third session on day one of WhisperFest 2020, and our first fireside chat. The focus of this discussion was on perfectionism, burnout and imposter syndrome in higher education.  Some things we talked about were the discussion on perfectionism and how we respond to what we notice in ourselves, recognising the cost, and being gentle on oneself with a curiosity

This fireside chat with Dr Tseen Khoo  and Dr Kylie Ball about why academia shouldn’t be a competition was recorded on Thursday 26 November 2020 as part of Whisper Fest 2020. Tseen and Kylie talk about the hyper-competitiveness of academia and how we can resist being held hostage by it. They’ll discuss the creation of their blogs and their philosophy (Kylie’s Happy Academic and Tseen’s Research Whisperer), Kylie’s research on highly productive and happy research teams, and why sharing is better for everyone in academia.
