Welcome to the Publishing Academic Research Podcast — your go-to resource for turning big ideas into published work.

Whether you're a grad student staring down a dissertation, a junior scholar building your research agenda, or a seasoned academic ready to level up, this podcast is here to help you write smarter, publish more, and thrive in the process.

I’m Dr. Kyle Rudick, full professor at the University of Northern Iowa. I’ve published dozens of articles, chapters, books, and essays — and edited for some of the top outlets in my field. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot (sometimes the hard way), and now I’m here to help you navigate the publishing world with more clarity, confidence, and joy.

Each episode is packed with practical strategies to:
– Build a sustainable and impactful research program
– Finish your thesis or dissertation
– Boost writing productivity and make the most of your time
– Get published and increase your scholarly visibility
– Navigate job searches, tenure and promotion, and grant success
– And most importantly, stay sane, healthy, and motivated along the way

If you're ready to quiet the inner critic, write with purpose, and finally get your work out into the world — you’re in the right place.

Let’s get your research published — and keep Reviewer Two from ruining your day.
