The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) bridges the worlds of open source and open research. To amplify this mission, we recently completed the first season of JOSSCast, an experimental podcast designed to test how storytelling can connect researchers, developers, and contributors across disciplines. In this session, I’ll share what we learned from the experience—what worked, what didn’t, and how we can use podcasts to strengthen open research.

You’ll get insights on:

  • The challenges and rewards of using podcasts to support open research.
  • How storytelling can engage both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Practical tips for creating content that builds community.

Come hear about how we’re using experiments like JOSSCast to innovate and grow the open research ecosystem.
