  • Podcasts and Convergent Digital Media Michael Dwyer, Arcadia University
    Podcasts and Convergent Digital Media Michael Dwyer, Arcadia University What is a podcast, anyway? Is it a textual form? A genre of audio recording? A distribution method? And what was a podcast ten years ago? Are they different now from how they were then? How so? Why? Those are important questions. But it appears that media studies, as a discipline, has yet to pursue them in any sustained way. The word “podcast” has appeared in Cinema Journal in only 11 pieces, mostly in announcements and citations. In Velvet Light Trap, the word’s appeared twice. Major academic publishers like Routledge have only a few podcasting monographs, mostly of the how-to variety. Run a search on the term “podcast” on Flow and you get 41 results. A single television series like Battlestar Galactica, by contrast, returns 46 results. What might explain this relative silence from a group of scholars whose animating purpose is the study of popular media? I am reminded, as I often am, of Tim Anderson’s 2009 Velvet Light Trap essay “A Skip in the Record of Media Studies.” In it, Anderson argues that media studies' failure to fully embrace the study of sound media has "unwittingly articulated blind spots that make it unable to fully understand what is at stake today" (104). Consider, for example the roundtable prompt that animates our discussion, which articulates a desire to consider podcasts “alongside other popular forms, such as web series and online television,” but not sound media. If media studies scholars want to understand podcasts (and I think we all here sincerely do) we need to understand them in relation to media industries like radio, pop music, and sound recording as well as screen media.

SHARMA Pro-Chancellor and Director General, Ganpat University, Kherva, Mehsana. Abstract: The Digital Democracy Survey defined the activity as “watching three or more episodes of a TV or web series in one sitting” (Deloitte 2015). To grab the audience towards a web series localizing of the content is the new strategy. This makes the content to be relevant and relatable to the audience and thus a large number of audience’s interest is been caught (Vijay Subramanian, 2017). But content is not the only reason why web series have been successful in grabbing the eyeballs of people, they have also made it a point to quench our thirst for diverse subject and issues. With the rise in the popularity of the Internet and improvements the accessibility and affordability of high speed broadband and streaming video technology meant that producing and distributing a web series became a feasible alternative to "traditional" series production, which was formerly mostly done for broadcast and cable TV. Most of age groups have now Turn off their television sets and tune into Web series. Here, the research objective is to measure fascination of young adults towards web series.

  • Typology of Tropes in Avatar-Based Storytelling Practices
    Replay 1 (3) / 2016; I. CEEGS 2015 Proceedings; Articles / Artykuły http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2391-8551.03.06 Marta Tymińska University of Gdansk Avatars Going Mainstream: Typology of Tropes in Avatar-Based Storytelling Practices Introduction Being trapped in a computer game, fighting evil Artificial Intelligence, saving the world or at least virtual reality – those tropes are common in contemporary novels, comic books and motion pictures. The majority of popular, mainstream culture reco- gnizes digital games, virtual reality and the Internet as part of everyday experience, therefore it often incorporates them in its narratives. The influence of games upon other media transpires in various forms: from including such themes in world-buil- ding and storytelling to creating spaces imitating game-like experiences. Avatars star- ted to appear in various titles as main characters or projections thereof. The inclusion of avatars in such non-game narratives can recreate the common knowledge of digital game context or various misconceptions that authors of other popular media hold regarding player-avatar phenomena. The aim of this article is to investigate popular tropes within avatar-based story- telling practices present in popular media other than digital games. Inspired by Ted Friedman’s work (2005) on cybercultures and representation of computers in popular culture, this paper will focus on avatar-related tropes through an analysis of a range of texts such as: comic books, motion pictures, animations, TV series, and whole fran- chises. The results will be confronted with the most recent research in the matter of avatars in game studies. This approach will enable me to create a typology of narrative tropes connec- ted with the gaming experience throughout the avatars and to explore the avatar- 101 -player relationship.

Shorter than most television episodes and distributed on online platforms like YouTube, web series both draw on and deviate from traditional TV storytelling strategies. In this thesis, I compare the production and storytelling strategies of "derivative" web series based on broadcast television shows with "original" web series created for the Internet, focusing on the evolution of scripted entertainment content online.

  • Made in Ny Podcast Certificate Program January-February • 2018
    MADE IN NY PODCAST CERTIFICATE PROGRAM JANUARY-FEBRUARY • 2018 ABIGAIL BEREOLA I’m Abigail and I’m currently a freelance writer and Books Editor at The Rumpus with interests in writing, film, and audio. Previously I worked as a Publicity Assistant at Penguin Random House. I really love podcasts--these days, friends come to me for book recommendations and podcast recommendations. I’ve produced a podcast episode with The Heart and, lately, I’ve been trying to get my feet wet with tape syncs and transcription work. I’m also working on my own independent short-form podcast series which will hopefully consist of eight episodes. The first podcast episode that really showed me what the form can do was probably The Heart’s “Movies In Your Head” (back in 2014!). Lately though, I really love Rough Translation and their episode “American Surrogate” has stayed with me. ANNA PHELAN My name is Anna Phelan and I work at TED, launching and marketing our original podcasts, and providing editorial guidance on the TED Radio Hour, of which the actual production is done by NPR. I’m originally from Ireland, where my focus was on literature and publishing. I’m drawn to audio storytelling because of its more intimate, experiential nature. I’m excited to delve into the trenches with production which I’m still new to, and ultimately I’d like to work on bringing more literary fiction to the world of podcasting. I’m going to cheat here and say that my favourite podcast episode is the No series by The Heart, which is actually 4 episodes – and if I had to narrow, episode 3, Answers.
