Scott discusses his long history of listening to Apple-centric podcasts and what it has been like to co-host and produce his own podcasts. He also asserts the importance of accessibility and the benefits of listening to (and even being part of) a minority, citing lessons from the podcast Parallel and his childhood experience as an American living in Japan. Last, but not least, he asks us all to be more intentional in our media consumption and turns the tables in this very podcast.
This is the final episode of Really Specific Stories to be tied formally to a podcast case study in the PhD project.

‘Trans’ is a sociological term that may refer to either transgender (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender) or transsexual (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transsexual).
Please note this important distinction between the terms, as explained on the second webpage linked above (under Relationship to transgender (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transsexual#Relationship_to_transgender)): ’The term transgender was coined by John Oliven in 1965. By the 1990s, transsexual had come to be considered a subset of the umbrella term transgender. The term transgender is now more common, and many transgender people prefer the designation transgender and reject transsexual.’
