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.
