Audience engagement with the Aga Khan Museum’s Podcast Series This Being Human

Podcasting is a rapidly growing medium for reaching new audiences. Our research explores the impacts and outcomes of a new podcast series that seeks to bridge divides, dispel stereotypes, and expand public understanding of the diversity of the Muslim experience today and the issues and ideas that define Muslim art, culture and society globally. The 26-episode series, This Being Human, is sponsored by the Aga Khan Museum. It features internationally notable people and personalities doing extraordinary things. By analyzing the growing audience of the podcast series, this research helps to deepen the understanding of how podcast listening can induce engagement, dialogue and inclusivity.
