I am Professor of Media and Communication at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA, USA. I earned my M.A. (1995) and Ph.D. (2000) in Communication at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. My research explores the political economy of media institutions, specifically podcasting. I am currently writing a book on the impacts of platformization on the podcasting ecosystem. I am also the author of Media Audiences, 2nd edition (Sage, 2019). The book can be found here: https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/media-audiences/book258868
