Today, we're going to start something "epic" (hard quotes). M wants to begin to dissect what made audio fiction podcasting in the first place, what gives it its appeal, and what makes it the cultural force that it is.

Audio Fiction Referenced:
Among the Stars and Bones
Alice Isn't Dead
Within the Wires
