New Funding, New Episodes!
External funding will support the production of an episode a month for the next 8 months
In December 2025, the American Philosophical Association generously awarded A-KID-EMIA a Small Grant to hire production and communications assistance, which will support the creation of eight new podcast episodes! Additional funding contingent on this grant from the Elm Institute is now also secure for future episodes, following the tenure of the APA grant.
That means that for at least the next eight months, you can expect to receive a new episode every month starting in January. So far, the lineup represents an exciting array of scholars holding different ranks, located in diverse departments, at a variety of institutions from elite R1s and state schools to SLACs and more! All of them have thought deeply about time management and work-life balance. Some have also overcome uniquely challenging circumstances from which everyone can learn and find encouragement.
To make further funding possible, please spread the word on your preferred social media platform using the new handle @akidemiapodcast. The associated accounts aren’t very populated yet, but reels and the like will soon be available there, in case you’re interested in more bite-sized insights.
Another new addition is the “Ask Anything” subsection here on Substack, where you’re invited to privately request any topic you’d like to hear more about. Odds are that you’re not the only one wanting answers to your questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out!
