From Northeastern University comes What's New, a podcast dedicated to "new ideas and discoveries." The podcast is hosted by Dan Cohen, who serves as the Dean of Libraries and Vice Provost at Northeastern. In each thirty-minute episode, Cohen chats with a different Northeastern University scholar about their research or area of expertise. The result is a show that makes a wide variety of research topics and areas of inquiry accessible to the general public. In one recent episode, Cohen talks to Julia Flanders and Amanda Ross of Northeastern's Digital Scholarship Group discuss "how to design digital systems to be more attentive to the true diversity of humanity." In another recent episode, Cohen talks to Dietmar Offenhuber, a professor of Art, Design and Public Policy, about systems of waste management reveal about a society.
