podcast; Defamiliarization of the everyday A phenomenological analysis of podcast listening experience among users born in the sixties

Considering the meaning of "listening" in the media developments is the concern of the present research; How these changes affect the experience and meaning of "listening" in the media life-world.

Podcast as an audio medium was born in the image-saturated culture of new media thanks to iPods, cheap audio software, and blogs. In the meantime, those born in the sixties who have experienced the transition from analog to digital media, as the young generation in the eighties, saw the arrival of podcasts in Iran amid the fever of blogging, social networks such as Twitter, They remember Friend feed and Facebook. Based on the life-media of this generation, the study of their listening experience in the podcast shows the changing meaning of listening as "culture". Based on this, we studied the structure of the podcast listening experience in the media life-world of people born in the sixties with Husserl's transcendental phenomenological approach.

We organized the descriptions within the common structure of the users' experience, i.e. "borderline situations of implementing the "technique" of listening to podcasts" and showed how in these situations, the semantic layers of the media life-world are experienced in different ways. and based on this, the listening patterns are detailed as "podcast sub-culture" in the media life-world. These patterns are: immersive, elitist and emancipator, and podcast also has different meanings based on these patterns; Podcast as a narrative in immersive listening, podcast as a shelter in emancipator listening, and podcast as packaged knowledge in elitist listening.
