Conference Spotlight Series (OSTCA): Podcasting as Digitized Routes of Passage in 21st Century Higher Education

Send us Fan Mail In this finale to our 2026 "Conferences and Conferencing" miniseries, host Garret Castleberry is joined by colleagues across the State of Oklahoma to engage in a panel for the Oklahoma Speech, Theatre, Communication Association (or OSTCA).  This year, OSTCA is hosted by Southwestern Oklahoma State University (or SWOSU) in Weatherford, Oklahoma, USA. SWOSU is celebrating its 125th anniversary, while Weatherford rests comfortably along the famed Route 66. Route 66 celebrates its centennial this year, which also coincides with America's 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Garret is joined by panelists, including fellow Special Topics in Media cohost Scott McMurry, J Hall of the Okie Bookcast, and Coredy Lee Fuller, cohost of the Lesser Minds podcast. The group shares their individual missions, discussing origins and influences, and concludes with their best practices for the digital roads traveled.  Hosts: Garret Castleberry Cohosts/panelists: Scott McMurry, J Hall, Corey Lee Fuller Producers: Garret Castleberry, Will McMurry (Audio Engineer), Alli Garner (Cover Art), Austin Foster (Music) Ways to Connect with us online: Subscribe to our Special Topics in Media YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZBp5MambT0J2B6qkjrHUKw.  Follow and engage with Special Topics in Media on Twitter at @podcast_topics.
