ABSTRACT This paper examines how podcasting presents national communities within the temporality of public circulation. It uses the NPR Politics Podcast as a case study, arguing that it presents two forms of imagined nationality that can be seen in podcasting in general. One form works along the lines of the punctual circulation of media released regularly and professionally into the public sphere. The other emphasizes media accessibility and the present moment, creating a sense of continual connection with the national public. These two representations work alongside each other within podcasting, complicating a clear division between national communities imagined through “new” and “old” media.

NPR 政治播客中的公开流通

摘要 本文考察了播客如何在公共传播的时间性内呈现民族社区。它使用 NPR 政治播客作为案例研究，认为它呈现了两种形式的想象国籍，通常可以在播客中看到。一种形式遵循定期和专业地发布到公共领域的媒体准时流通。另一个强调媒体的可访问性和当下，创造一种与全国公众持续联系的感觉。这两种表现在播客中相互配合，使通过“新”和“旧”媒体想象的民族社区之间的清晰划分复杂化。
