From Oregon State University's Ecampus Research Unit comes the Research in Action (RIA) podcast, which is dedicated to "topics and issues related to research in higher education." Each episode of this podcast features a guest scholar who discusses their research process, often focusing on a particular methodology that may be of interest to emerging researchers. For example, in one recent episode Stephanie Evergreen, the author of Presenting Data Effectively, talks about data visualization. In another recent episode, media studies scholar and prolific author Jolie Jensen shares her ideas about overcoming writer's block. As of this write-up, the podcast features interviews with no fewer than 90 scholars. Each episode is available in audio format and as an interview transcript. Interested listeners may subscribe to this podcast via RSS, iTunes, or SoundCloud. Each episode is also accompanied by an instructor guide, which offers ideas about how to incorporate episode content into the classroom.
