'Revisiting podcasts' questions the establishment of authoritative/male voices that create exclusive speech platforms, along the assumption that voices have to be rational, authoritative (voice of expertise) etc. The intervention that changes the paradigm becomes a set of podcasts that revisit the sound material produced in situated amplification meetings and soundwalks. Every podcast includes the previous one, on a way that creates repetetive layers of the same material. Creating presence by repetetion.'Revisiting podcasts' are upsetting binaries such as male/female, expert/amateur, rational/irrational
