“…The outbreak of COVID-19 limited human contact, which forced researchers to make use of creative tools for data collection, most of which involving digital technologies (e.g., Rogers et al, 2020). As we aimed to collect data on parents' experiences of being a home DJ in daily life during the pandemic, we devised a modified version of the ESM, based on the methodology used by Lamont (2008).…”

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt our lives in unimagined ways, families are reinventing daily rituals, and this is likely true for musical rituals. This study explored how parents with young children used recorded music in their everyday lives during the pandemic. Mothers (N = 19) of child(ren) aged 18 months to 5 years living in the United States played the role of home DJ over a period of one week by strategically crafting the sonic home environment, based on resources provided by the authors, in response to their children’s mood and state. Using a newly developed data collection tool, inspired by the Experience Sampling Method, a total of 197 episodes were collected about children’s engagement with recorded music. Findings showed that while mothers utilized music to fulfill various emotional needs, they tended to use it to maintain or reinforce their child’s positive mood rather than to improve a negative mood. Also, mothers’ reports suggested various ways that young children engaged with music, being aligned with the multimodal nature of their musical experiences. Lastly, mothers reported that their strategic approaches to use recorded music seemed to help their children feel less distressed and happier, and this, in turn, aided in the reduction of some of the burdens associated with parenting.

“…Since the pandemic, and the forceful closing of commercial facilities and religious buildings along with the curfew that limited vehicular movements in the street has made the sound of the city calmer. Cairo has witnessed a similar case as what Rogers (2020) and Sharifi and Garmsir (2020) discuss that you can actually hear the natural sounds of the birds singing and the wind blowing in the previously dense and noisy streets of several cities around the world during the lockdown.…”

In a city of high vehicular traffic like Cairo, in some neighborhoods simple social activities were usually practiced in enclosed places. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has somehow turned the corner in the street life of Cairo as the livability of the urban public spaces enhanced. Residents of Cairo were widely seen using every well-maintained public space they could find. This paper aims to explore the emerging questions concerning Covid-19 and its effect on the city. How did Covid-19 help in bringing residents of Cairo back to the streets? What kind of street activities were introduced during the pandemic and what are the reasons behind them? What are the effects of these novel activities on both the people and the city? Basing on relevant international literature, this research will provide a comparative analysis between urban public life in the streets of Cairo before and during the pandemic. The research adopts a case study qualitative approach for a selected neighborhood in Cairo. It relies on observations, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with residents from the district. Findings indicate that enclosed commercial and recreational facilities, and vehicular domination in the streets have taken life away from the city before the lockdown period. During the pandemic people have acquired new habits which gave life back to the streets. The flow of the main social stream has a very important role in shaping the street life. As a result of these new circumstances the physical and psychological health of the residents were maintained, new social ties were created and their sense of belonging has been enhanced.

“…Rogers and Herbert argue that podcasting is a “political and ethical process' that 'should be used to politically and ethically intervene in the socio‐political world” (2019a, p. 299). Others have highlighted both the potential and limitations of the process as another research approach (Rogers et al, 2020; Smith et al, 2021; Wilson, 2018). The format presents opportunities and challenges for researchers which need to be discussed and understood through practice.…”

Although podcasts have become a popular medium since the early 2000s, geographers' use of the format as a research and dissemination method is underdeveloped. This paper examines how audio podcasts can be deployed as geographical processes to explore place and convey spatial themes in an impactful and innovative inclusive manner. Using the case study of a short series produced to consider the role of a river in the life of a region, I show how field recordings, interviews, and historical sources can be woven together to examine a place in an evocative and accessible manner. Podcasting is a research and communication tool, which can dovetail with existing approaches, with the potential to understand different environments in new ways, let community voices speak for themselves, and reach broader audiences. The paper argues that podcasts present new opportunities to consider how we appreciate and use sound to tell the story of places in participative and evocative ways.
