Born out of interviews with the producers of some of the most
popular and culturally significant podcasts to date (Welcome to
Night Vale, Radiolab, Serial, The Black Tapes, We're Alive, The
Heart, The Truth, Lore, Love + Radio, My Dad Wrote a Porno, and
others) as well as interviews with executives at some of the most
important podcasting institutions and entities (the BBC,
Radiotopia, Gimlet Media, Audible.com, Edison Research, Libsyn and
others), Podcasting documents a moment of revolutionary change in
audio media. The fall of 2014 saw a new iOS from Apple with the
first built-in "Podcasts" app, the runaway success of Serial, and
podcasting moving out of its geeky ghetto into the cultural
mainstream. The creative and cultural dynamism of this moment,
which reverberates to this day, is the focus of Podcasting. Using
case studies, close analytical listening, quantitative and
qualitative analysis, production analysis, as well as audience
research, it suggests what podcasting has to contribute to a host
of larger media-and-society debates in such fields as: fandom,
social media and audience construction; new media and journalistic
ethics; intimacy, empathy and media relationships; cultural
commitments to narrative and storytelling; the future of new media
drama; youth media and the charge of narcissism; and more. Beyond
describing what is unique about podcasting among other audio media,
this book offers an entry into the new and evolving field of
podcasting studies.
