In this reflection, a group of undergraduate research assistants and student changemakers use a podcast to explore which students are at the research table, and what barriers are keeping many others outside of it. This student-authored paper and SoTL-inspired auditory experience dives into multiple demographic topics such as gender, race, and socio-economic status in relation to student-faculty partnerships in the research realm. Both listeners and readers are encouraged to reflect on the recruitment process they use in finding their student partners, and how they can better serve priority populations and implement diversity and inclusion in their practice.

A faculty-student partnership records a podcast to share their experience of a students-as-partners framework. The commentary invites the listener to explore some of the inherent tensions associated with power, voice, and positionality. Listeners are gifted with the story of the Ani to Pisi (Spiderweb), which informs this work.
