It's for fun. Can't you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil? We think you've earned it. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth. You're worth it. [theme music plays] Justin: Hello, everybody, and welcome to Sawbones: a Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine. I'm your co-host, Justin McElroy! Sydnee: And I'm Sydnee McElroy! Justin: Our cat is, uh, purring very loudly. She's snoring. I mean, let's call it what it is: she's snoring. Sydnee: [laughs] Justin: Underneath the chair, so if you can hear that— Sydnee: I'm concerned she has sleep apnea. Justin: —apologies. Sydnee: Sleep cat… nea. Cat—cat ap—cat—never mind. Forget that.

That means that our shows happen because of people like you that listen to these shows and say, "This is worth supporting. This is worth being in the world." You know, I was tweeting about last night how I feel like this model for supporting creators is really the only way to keep everything from being owned by like, one monstrous media company.

    “Serial Fiction Podcasting and Participatory Culture” - Robert Yeates | 1 Serial Fiction Podcasting and Participatory Culture: Fan Influence and Representation in The Adventure Zone Technology journalist Frank Rose, in his book The Art of Immersion (2012/2011), argues that we are entering a third age of the Internet. The first of these began with the introduction of the World Wide Web in 1991, which ‘made the Net accessible to ordinary people’. The second was marked by a ‘cornucopia of participation (blogs, wikis, social media) known as Web 2.0’ (Rose, 2012/2011: 7). The third, into which we are now transitioning, is an artistic era: ‘The future beckons, but we’re only partway through inventing it. We can see the outlines of a new art form, but its grammar is as tenuous and elusive as the grammar of cinema a century ago’ (8). As the uses and affordances of new media become better understood and experimental online formats find their footing, this artistic era is beginning to be evidenced in forms of storytelling which take advantage of the contemporary technologies at hand. One example of this is podcast fiction, a format which draws heavily upon established media, radio fiction programming in particular, but which utilizes the unique capabilities associated with the digital file format and online distribution and consumption. Podcasts such as Welcome to Night Vale (2012-present), The Truth (2012- present), and The Message (2015) have acquired large audiences, and certain programs have achieved syndication with media giants American Public Media and National Public Radio. Despite the recent surge in the popularity of podcasts, little scholarly attention has been placed on the format, except to discuss it as merely a continuation of radio programming or a part of a transmedia landscape for texts which are centred in more established media such as television and film.

First of all I’d like to thank my committee chair Dr. David Craig. Without his guidance, patience and prayers for my well-being I don’t know where I would be today. I’d like to also thank my other committee members: Dr. Eric Kramer, Dr. Julie Jones, Dr. Jill Edy, and Dr. Ralph Beliveau. I would also like to thank former member Dr. Namkee Park for making me feel normal for researching video games. Second I’d like to thank my colleagues at the University of Oklahoma who were there in the trenches with me for years: Phil Todd, David Ferman, Kenna Griffin, Anna Klueva, Christal Johnson, Jared Schroeder, Chad Nye, Katie Eaves, Erich Sommerfeldt, Aimei Yang, Josh Bentley, Tara Buehner, Yousuf Mohammad and Nur Uysal. I also want to extend a special thanks to Bryan Carr, who possibly is a bigger nerd than me and a great help to me in finishing this study.

Tutkielma pohjautuu maailmojen rakentamisen eri teorioihin ja yhdistelee niitä vastaamaan erityisesti fantasiapöytäroolipelien tarpeita kuitenkin niin, että tutkielmassa esiteltyä teoriaa voi hyödyntää erilaisten maailmojen analysoinnissa. Teoriaosuuden keskiössä on intertekstuaalinen referointi ja referoijat, eli kuinka maailmaa rakentavia elementtejä yhdistellään erinäisten intertekstuaalisten viittausten tekijöiden (kirjoittaja, lukija, kriitikko) toimesta. Nämä maailmaa rakentavat elementit, jotka voivat olla metatekstuaalisia, aika-avaruudellisia sijainteja, erinäisiä henkilöhahmoja tai narratiivia rakentavia, muodostavat jatkumon maailman ja sen ympäröivän narratiivin välille.
