Horror is an inward-style of storytelling, and yet the reception of the podcast can be an embodied form of listening. This intersection creates conditions for a subject\/listener collapse (which results in immersion) as well as a potential listener\/creator collapse (listeners move into the roles of creators).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe texts (2006- ) discussed in this book generally originate in independent podcasting or public service broadcasting.

The tensions between experiment and professionalization are explored through a series of interviews with 14 creators involved in the 11th Hour Audio Drama Challenge as well as the author's own podcast drama series. The praxis of horror podcast drama is ultimately informed by the book's themes: technology-based fears including surveillance, generic hybridity and the collapse between listener\/creator engendered by the podcast form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leslie Grace McMurtry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798765110577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Leslie Grace McMurtry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50663683195135,"sku":"9798765110577","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/horror-podcasting-leslie-grace-mcmurtry-9798765110577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
