An overview of Motorsports Podcasts focused on Women (Mike Stocz)

Modern technologies have expanded our ability to share a wide variety of interests. Motorsport, primarily focusing on women in motorsport, has found social media as a medium to help grow actual participation numbers. Expanding on this theory, while also taking into consideration a later discussion on modern archival methods, this presentation will overview how podcasts surrounding women in motorsport are self-presenting to the public at large. In particular, a thematic analysis of women in motorsport show descriptions, and episode descriptions, will be explored, with themes and expanded research discussed.

Mike Stocz is the assistant director for the department of kinesiology, and a senior lecturer of sport management & eadership, at the University of New Hampshire. He is one of the founding members and editor in chief of the Journal of Motorsport Culture & History. Mike’s recent works have included a co-authored book chapter about the future of Formula 1, as well as works surrounding big game hunting legislation on land preserves, an economic funding model for college athletics, and critiques on K-12 coaching certifications surrounding sexual assault.
