Podcast

The Phenomenology Collective (hosted by me and Dr Sally Goldspink) creates space for thoughtful conversations about lived experience across a range of professional, academic, and everyday contexts. Through dialogue with researchers, practitioners, and thinkers from different disciplines, it explores how phenomenological ways of attending can illuminate how the world is encountered, interpreted, and made meaningful.

Rather than focusing on disciplinary boundaries or formal research outputs, the podcast foregrounds applied phenomenology: how phenomenological thinking shows up in practice, shapes professional judgement, and alters how people notice, question, and respond to their everyday worlds.

Focus and themes

Conversations on the podcast often return to a small number of recurring themes:

• Applied phenomenology in professional and everyday life
• Lived experience, meaning, and interpretation
• Practice, judgement, and ways of seeing
• Space, place, and embodiment
• Writing, reflection, and dialogue as modes of inquiry

Format

Episodes typically take the form of extended conversations rather than interviews, allowing ideas to unfold gradually and responsively. Each episode includes time for reflection on how engaging with research and practice has shaped guests’ ways of seeing, working, and being.

Across episodes, particular attention is given to how adopting a phenomenological attitude can alter everyday professional practice — a theme that recurs throughout the series.

Episodes

Episodes will appear here as they are released. Our first series of episodes is expected late March 2026.
