Sound Media; 37 graus; A Terra é Redonda; Scientific Journalism; Critical Discourse Analysis
The study presents a discursive analysis of a total of 17 episodes of the podcasts A Terra é Redonda and 37 Graus. It seeks to identify and understand the discursive strategies adopted by new narrative formats of sound media, analyzing how they operate in scientific dissemination through resources such as storytelling and literary journalism. To this end, Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (2001, 2003) is used as the main theoretical foundation, in addition to the Case Study (GIL, 2007) and the contributions of authors who work with science communication and scientific journalism. . The methodology adopted has the episodes of the podcast 37 Graus and A Terra é Redonda as an empirical object, from February to July 2020, during the pandemic. Thus, the analysis sought to contribute to reflections on science communication for the development of new possibilities for scientific dissemination. The study concluded that based on the use of storytelling strategies and literary journalism resources, podcasts provide communication of science in an interactive way, through an informal and emotive language, giving the listener a broader dimension of the scientific process, being informative and provoking their reflection on the theme.
