Academic Misfits
Academia is slow to change. There's those of us who shake it up, force it to change or even decide to leave and poke it from the outside! Change does happen but it's a challenge. When I was a professor, I would write blogs, engage in public outreach that involved I'm A Scientist Get Me Out Of Here, cocktail evenings with science, and other silly ways to get people the knowledge I was producing. I also made experiments fun by bringing VR to prisons and schools. And I brought Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art, to psychology conferences! These creative endeavors and inclusive practices are often not valued as are high-impact publications and large-scale grants. There are many other ways we are misfits, however. Many are simply due to who we are - queer, BIPOC, etc. So, I've been called to create a podcast called Academic Misfits, honoring those of us who have gone rogue or have rebelled in our own ways.

Academic Aunties
Academia. It is a site of exclusion. For those of us who are first-generation, who are racialized, who are women, and who inhabit social locations that are traditionally unrepresented in this space, academia is full of landmines. This is why we need academic aunties. This podcast will bring you stories and advice about how to navigate this treacherous world and maybe even plant the seeds for structural transformation. Come listen to Auntie Ethel and her friends. Episodes drop monthly. Message us on Twitter at @AcademicAuntie and visit us online at academicaunties.com.

Creating a Satisfying Academic Career with Jo Van Every
I help academics build their confidence to do the work they find meaningful and find the time to do it. This podcast includes a whole range of topics: strategies for protecting your time, writing and editing advice, thoughts on careers and the wider context, preventing overwork and burnout, etc. Pursuing a scholarly career is tough these days. I firmly believe that your academic career has the potential for joy as well as success. I also believe that you can pursue your scholarly work in whatever situation you find yourself in, even if it's not ideal. You don't have to, but if it's important to you, you don't have to wait for someone else to create the ideal conditions. For more audio tracks, we started posting over on Soundcloud before beginning this distribution journey. We'll be adding more to the platforms you love as soon as we can! Enjoy your writingJoVE
