OSR058 PLOScast [EN]

Pretty much everybody with a background in research knows PLOS,
either through its mega journal PLOS ONE (most probably the biggest
OA journal), or one of its other journals. However, it was kind of
surprising to us when we recognized a while ago that there is also
a PLOS podcast, the PLOScast. This podcast, being public for a year
now, offers more than a dozen episodes so far, each being an
interview with some very interesting guests - some of them
well-known all over the place, such as Cameron Neylon, Matt
Shipman,Geoffrey Bilder and many more. We got the wonderful
opportunity to talk to Elizabeth Seiver, the host of the PLOScast
(and herself being a meta researcher at PLOS with a psychology
background) and Jennifer Laloup, the producer of the show. We
talked about how PLOScast came to life and how they have been able
to constantly grow it. We also share some of our own history and
experience. We can absolutely recommend to give the PLOScast a
thorough listen and we hope that there will be many more episodes
to come. Hopefully, this episode is as interesting for you, as it
was for us. Thanks Elizabeth and Jen! And now, enjoy!
