Case study examines science communication strategies and audience reach in human factors podcasting, highlighting effective methods for academic knowledge dissemination.
Over the last 10 years, Human Factors Cast (HFC) has been a living experiment for human factors and science communication. Each episode, we translate research papers, topical news, industry events, and listener questions into conversational audio for a mixed audience of students, practitioners, and those with interest from adjacent fields. This live episode recorded at HFES ASPIRE 2026 will discuss a decade of podcast production as a communication channel for human factors: who we reach, how we structure content, and which topics perform well. The session itself is an alternative-format live recording of HFC with the paper’s authors as panelists, recorded in front of the conference audience. By combining retrospective analysis with a live, participatory episode, we treat the podcast not only as a dissemination tool but as a case study in how our field talks about itself, reacts to news, and responds to questions from people in the field.
