The creative and cultural dynamism of this moment, which reverberates to this day, is the focus of \u003ci\u003ePodcasting\u003c\/i\u003e. Using case studies, close analytical listening, quantitative and qualitative analysis, production analysis, as well as audience research, it suggests what podcasting has to contribute to a host of larger media-and-society debates in such fields as:  fandom, social media and audience construction; new media and journalistic ethics; intimacy, empathy and media relationships; cultural commitments to narrative and storytelling; the future of new media drama; youth media and the charge of narcissism; and more. Beyond describing what is unique about podcasting among other audio media, this book offers an entry into the new and evolving field of podcasting studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“With this book, the authors clearly identify the unique qualities of contemporary podcasting and sketch a thought-provoking portrait of this emerging digital medium.” —\u003ci\u003eTiziano Bonini, Assistant Professor in Media Studies, University of Siena, Italy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Podcasting is indeed an audio revolution.
