The podcast “Passes e Impasses” is an outreach project of the laboratory, with the primary mission of bringing academic knowledge in the fields of communication and sport to the general public, collectively building and sharing this knowledge.
The inaugural episode of the podcast debuted in October 2019, and since then, more than 60 episodes have been released on various topics: fan culture, racism and diversity in sports, stadium gentrification, sport psychology, e-sports, sports marketing, nationalisms, rivalries, idolatry, among others. In these episodes, we interview professionals from the sports industry (journalists and athletes) and renowned researchers in the field.
The podcast is produced by LEME’s scholarship interns, supervised by Qualitec and Proatec scholarship holders, based on the outreach project of Professor Fausto Amaro. The production process of each episode involves pre-production, production, and post-production stages, as well as critical reading of academic works (the basis for scriptwriting).
