It examines the audience metrics and discourses of four popular Islamic podcasts: The Thinking Muslim (UK), Blogging Theology (UK), OnePath Network (Australia) and Zaytuna College (US), with a focus on their content production, charismatic appeal and pan-Islamic orientation. It finds that the podcasts actively shape counterpublics through their engagement with decolonial thought, traditionalist scholarship and the amplification of Muslim lived experiences.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Digital British Islam did some work on podcasting.  <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalbritishislam.com\/british-muslim-podcasters-gender-dynamics-commodification-and-the-displacement-of-traditional-islamic-authority\/\">Khadijah Elshayyal and Sadek Hamid, British Muslim Podcasters: Gender Dynamics, Commodification and The Displacement of Traditional Islamic Authority<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New-ish and noted (and interesting!): Whyte, S.
