    5 - "Hanne Nijtmans - Podcasting Paranoia: Aesthetics, Politics, and Community in American Fictional Podcasts"

    Using Welcome to Night Vale as a case study, this paper investigates the aesthetic, social, and political functions of the paranoid style in podcasts. This provides new insights in how upcoming art forms respond to the political problems of the ‘age of conspiracy,’ and how that inspires virtual fan communities.

    3- AC Carlson - "Reports of Violence Erupted Today": Limetown and the Potential of Podcast Fiction"

    3- AC Carlson - "Reports of Violence Erupted Today": Limetown and the Potential of Podcast Fiction"

    Fiction podcasts deserve further attention as a form defined by particular production, distribution, and listening practices. Two-Up Studio’s 2015 fiction podcast Limetown, while now an example of the “Golden Age” of podcast fiction, highlights the possibility of fiction podcasting to blur the line between truth and fiction.

    Annamarie Carlson is a Ph.D. student in Rhetoric at Indiana University-Bloomington. They have an MA in English Literature from Northern Arizona University. Annamarie’s scholarly interests can usually be found at the blurry intersection of narrative, culture, and media, all broadly conceived. To put it another way, they are fascinated by the interplay of the stories we tell, the technologies used to tell them, and the relationship of stories and technologies with whatever it is we mean when we say “culture”. They have a creative as well as an academic interest in podcasting, audio fiction, and video games.

    Teaser: Cities of Sound

    Teaser: Cities of Sound

    Since its early origins as audio-blogs and located in radio studies, podcasting has been shaped by the proliferation of digital performance, participatory media, and mobile electronic devices. These forces have created a medium uniquely associated with the performance of intimacy among both listeners and content creators. However, as the medium expands into commercial and noncommercial spaces, the contexts of this intimacy continue to shape and be shaped by the public spheres it operates in. This virtual (online) session explores podcasts and podcasting as virtual literary and performance publics. This session may include media, literary performance, sound, and cultural studies approaches to podcasting as public texts, media, and performances.
