I think the rest of the ones I listen to have been mentioned by others. I know The Urban Wildlife Podcast has mentioned iNaturalist and the City Nature Challenge a bunch and the Birdchick Podcast host is here on iNaturalist.

I have to second the American Birding Podcast, probably the best produced and most focused one I listened to. Great conversations on there and cool notables from eBird. Nate Swick is a phenomenal host.

Not sure if anyone mentioned RadioLab. Kind of goes without saying, but they have done many fascinating nature-science episodes, and they are the gold standard of audio production and narrative journalism.

It so happened that I had this wonderful conversation with Arushi Batra, who hosts a podcast on the journey of science podcasters in India on the IndiaBioscience platform, and it turned out to be quite a fascinating conversation. Actually, I thought it would be great for our listeners to hear what Arushi and I talked about. And if you are someone who loves to know the inner workings of things, like most scientists and science enthusiasts do, in this case, how science podcasts are basically put together, then this episode is for you. So listen in, as I happen to be on the other end of the questions this time, with Arushi Batra.

01:46 Subhra Priyadarshini: We launched our first podcast in 2018. And I have anchored the podcast ever since covering various themes and various seasons. Science, podcasting in India truly appealed to us as the next frontier to cater to a dedicated audience.

02:27 Subhra Priyadarshini: You know, a series is a very good way to talk about a set of topics in, say, snackable portions, if you will. Our podcasts are designed to be very quick listens on the go. So each episode is somewhere between 15 to 20 minutes, not more than that. This really works well with a series because then you can dissect one story into subtopics. And then address each topic in one episode. The 'Our mobile world' series that you talked about, it talks of how the mobile phone has transformed the world of research. It's a very small topic, if you come to think of it, but then, you know, we don't give too much credence to the mobile phone being in our lives, penetrating it so much that it becomes an extension of our hand almost. And so to think of it from the perspective of science and research, and in the scientific community how everybody's using it, it gives it another layer of discussion. We come to the topic from various angles, from biodiversity to agriculture. We've done healthcare, and then the question of e-waste or digital divide. So the series concept really works well with such a vast topic. So similarly, you talked about the 'I am a scientist' series, we wanted to break the stereotype of the scientist of being a man in a white coat in a lab, doing boring stuff. Really wanted to introduce our audiences to scientists who work in diverse and unique settings. So we shadowed those scientists in their unconventional workplaces. And it was a hugely popular series, and we really want to repeat it in another season.

04:54 Arushi Batra: That's very interesting. And the idea behind the series was definitely a brilliant idea. So in what ways do you think that your journey into science podcasting has been unique or different from others in the field except for the fact that these topics or these series are things that people have not yet covered? Apart from this, how do you think that your journey has been unique?

05:19 Subhra Priyadarshini: Um, well, I don't know if it is unique, but it surely is among the very few podcasts, like you said, covering science from the basic incremental research to big ticket events of science, news and analysis, and then to dedicated series like the ones that we just talked about. We have also managed to cover, if you can call that unique, a vast number of voices in the scientific community in India. So each episode is just about three to four people. We also produce some episodes in Hindi. And that is another unique thing I feel. Our Hindi episodes are tougher to produce, by the way, but they have way more listeners than the English ones. So that really is a testament to doing science communication, or science outreach, or science journalism, in regional languages. And the success of our Hindi episodes really speaks to that.

06:13 Arushi Batra: Yeah, podcasting often comes with its own set of challenges. Like you said that the Hindi episodes are a little more difficult. So could you also touch upon some other key obstacles that you faced? And how did you overcome them?

06:29 Subhra Priyadarshini: One challenge is to find good speakers, of course, who can articulate well within a limited time. Because you will have known by now that scientists can really go on and on, and you have to curtail it down to your time. That involves a lot of retakes sometimes. So for an episode of say, 15 to 20 minutes, you are recording for one and a half hours or so. But this challenge multiplies when we seek out Hindi speakers to talk on science topics -- multiple retakes, of course. The other challenge is to find funders who can support podcasts since this is a resource intensive process. So having a funder get into the mix is good. Thankfully, we have had some support from India Alliance for a few seasons now, great partners to work with. They give us the editorial independence. The other challenge, again, is building an audience -- all podcasters nightmare. It's tough to build audiences, since it is such a niche format, a niche subject area (science), and attracts a very niche audience. And it is tougher to get analytics to understand the growth or impact that your podcast is having on your audiences. So the very basic analytics from whichever platform you're hosting your podcast is what you have at hand to convince yourself that this is something you want to keep doing. I think podcasting is also a very, very lonely journey. And feedback from audiences is so sporadic, so you thrive on whatever comes your way and do it for the passion of the content format. And with the conviction that it must be making an impact bigger than what is visible to you. Yeah, so you just trot along in this journey somehow.

08:26 Arushi Batra: We have touched upon, you know, what I was about to ask you next. How do you perceive the impact of your podcast? Have there been any surprising outcomes or feedback like I myself have given you one today, I have heard all the episodes of 'I am a scientist and this is where I work'. And it has significantly changed my perspective, even though theoretically I did know, you know, that there are scientists working in remote areas or places where it's very cold and doing other types of research. But listening to their journeys has been very interesting on my level. Has there ever been a time where, you know, somebody's heard your podcast, and you've got a very surprising feedback that you probably didn't expect?

09:08 Subhra Priyadarshini: Yeah, thanks for all those kind words, it helps. That we have to keep doing what we do. I do receive a lot of emails and DMs, telling me that people enjoyed an episode or a series. Surprising outcomes have been when people have called us asking about, say, certain application or technology or research, and wanting to know the contact details of the researchers and whether they can reach out to them. So the 'Our Mobile World' Series has had many such moments when industry partners or scientists have reached out to us asking if we can help them collaborate with a certain lab or firm, or a specific application that we talked about in our episodes. When we did the 'I am a scientist' series, we received many social media comments and emails, where people said, "it was so inspiring", like you said just now, to hear about some unconventional science careers. Many scientists actually gave us recommendations of people who could be featured in this series because they thought, yeah, why not? I mean, we didn't think of it like this, like an unconventional workplace. But yeah, my friend or my colleague, actually fits into this description. For one obituary podcast on Lalji Singh, we actually received messages from a number of international scientists, collaborators who said, they actually played that episode during their memorial meetings. So, you know, you really never know who's listening to your podcast and where, and what effect it has on them. You get to hear some feedback. And then you take solace in the fact, like I said, that much of that is actually really, really intangible. You can't see it.
