| Introduction | Joy Austria earned her M.L.I.S from Dominican University. She recently completed a research project studying evaluation criteria for science podcasts. She hopes to publish her findings soon and plans on continuing her research in the future. While earning her undergraduate degree in nursing at Loyola University Chicago, Joy worked for two years at WLUW 88.7 FM. She was the assistant news director, a news anchor and an on-air music personality. She currently is volunteering again at the station in the news department and is working to produce audio documentaries for WLUW's "Random Acts of Radio". In her non-existent spare time Joy enjoys hanging out with friends and family, all things Whedonesque, feeding her iPod, twisted animation, live music, drawin' and occasionally sleep. Professional/Research interests include podcast content evaluation, online publishing, and webcomics publishing. |
