[Abstract]

This presentation emerges f rom a podcast hosted by the Centre for Migration at the University of Briti sh Columbia (UBC) in 2021. In this discussion\, we explore how podcasts off er a unique and often under-researched arts-based medium that can be used a s a form of creative expression to tell stories\, build dialogue\, and crea te solidarity. We argue that podcasts offer benefits and learnings not only to the listeners but also to participants who are part of the creation pro cess. We conclude that the podcast created spaces of disruption\, public pe dagogy\, and praxis.
