Incredible research happens every day that never reaches the people who need it most.
This podcast is about changing that by focusing on how you can build the reach, reputation, and relationships needed to match your impact and funding goals.
Each month, I sit down with experts in impact, knowledge mobilisation, science communication, and beyond to unpack practical approaches you can actually use.
You'll hear from researchers who've cracked the code on reaching the right people, professional staff who make impact happen behind the scenes, and some folks you might not expect — like screenwriters, comedians, and brand strategists who've found their way into the research world.
“Should be required listening for all researchers who think about real world impact.” — Dr Meredith Layton, UoM
“A must-listen for academics looking to deepen their understanding of how to communicate research effectively.” — A/Prof Kelly-Ann Allen, Monash
“Truly inspiring… One of the best podcasts I have ever heard!” — Dr Anahita Sal Moslehian, Deakin University
“Very knowledgeable guests — and host! A must listen for researchers looking to increase the impact of their work.” — A/Prof Melissa Forbes, UniSQ
"As a result of listening to Amplifying Research, I've changed my approach to be more narrative-driven and audience-focused. Engagement has increased and I'm now better able to get my message to those who can benefit." — Sue Sharp, ANU
