Description
The Power of Podcasting: Telling Stories Through Sound by Siobhán McHugh
Podcasting has evolved into a vibrant medium, offering a platform for new voices to emerge every day. As a largely unregulated and accessible tool, it is attracting scholarly attention across various fields, from media and communications to history, criminology, and gender studies. Podcasts have developed innovative models for storytelling, entertainment, and sharing knowledge, fostering strong connections between hosts and their audiences.
In this book, Siobhán McHugh, a leading international audio scholar, delves into the aesthetics and appeal of podcasts, revealing the remarkable power of audio to build empathy and connection. Drawing on her experience producing acclaimed podcasts, McHugh provides practical insights into creating complex narrative podcasts and conversational shows, as well as critical analysis of the art and history of audio storytelling.
