Abstract

Neil Verma’s new book Narrative Podcasting in an Age of Obsession progresses our understanding of podcasting by not only unpacking the aesthetic passions of the medium but also unpacking how audio as a medium is able to combine affect, knowledge and memory. The concepts proposed in the book, like recessive epistemology, mimetic obsession and so on will help researchers, students as well as practitioners develop a critical understanding of narrative podcasts. Even though the book only studies American podcasts, the concepts proposed in the book takes podcast studies a step further and will definitely aid scholars across the globe to further their research in their specific contexts.

Keywords: narrative podcast, aesthetic passion, recessive epistemology, obsession
