Abstract-Talk promotes the work of the scientific community and to
facilitate the easy exchange of new ideas and new research. We believe
that using podcasts and short, informal discussions and talks we can
increases the visibility of research to people inside and outside the
respective research community. A podcast episode can be a chat about
a new paper, a new book or a discussion or interviewabout a research
topic. These episodes also provide an opportunity to learn about new
work for researchers that cannot attend conferences and for students
new to the field.
