Amplify Podcast Network Sustain Stream CFP – Spring 2025

Call for Proposals to the Amplify Podcast Network (Spring 2025)

The Amplify Podcast Network invites proposals for new podcasts to join our Sustain stream. This is our second open call for proposals; we will be accepting up to four podcasts to join the network, to be chosen through consultation with the Amplify editorial board and current Sustain podcaster cohort. 

Amplify is a scholarly podcast network that encourages collaboration and experimentation via the medium of scholarly podcasting, with a focus on podcasts committed to anti-racism, feminist social justice, and community-building. For more on the network, please consult our mandate. We are open to podcasts on a wide range of topics within the humanities and social sciences, but podcasts will be selected for inclusion in the network based on our guiding editorial values: commitment to critical pedagogy and open scholarship. We are particularly interested in proposals from podcasters who have a demonstrated active podcasting practice rooted in these values, whether you are currently working in academia or not. New podcast and series proposals are also welcome. The call is open to an international cohort. For more on submissions, please read our submission guidelines. Submission deadline is Sunday May 18th (Midnight ET/America).

Podcasts under the Sustain stream will: 

• appear on the Amplify Podcast Network website, 

• be a part of Amplify’s community of practice,

• be able to take advantage of cross-promotion with other shows in the network, and 

• be invited to participate in Amplify research and network development.

The podcasts in the Sustain stream are not peer reviewed and do not carry the imprint of WLU Press. For inquiries about the Resonate stream, please contact WLU Press senior editor Siobhan McMenemy. 

For inquiries and submissions, contact the Amplify Podcast Network at amplifyingpodcasts@gmail.com. All are encouraged to apply regardless of institutional affiliation or rank.
