The Backdoor Broadcasting Company is a mobile audio webcasting service which specialises in web-casting academic lectures in order to further the dissemination of research. Topics covered are as diverse as childhood and violence, debates on critical theory with the likes of Slavoj Žižek, ‘The Future of Biosecurity’, and the Shakespeare Institute’s think-tank session on the Royal Shakespeare Company’s upcoming production of the Taming of the Shrew.

Each recording is presented on its own individual webpage, with additional information, such as abstract and/or publications.  Every page can be linked or embedded to other pages and all carry social network buttons, as well as RSS feeds.

The company website also serves as an archive which can be searched by name, date, event and keywords. All recordings are covered by a Creative Commons licence and are thus freely available for streaming and downloading.
