About
two decades ago, the “be your own media” movement really accelerated in the
pirate radio world, and around the same time, the podcasting scene started to
take hold. It was the audio version of zines, as technology placed the means of
audio production at people’s fingertips (literally). Podcasts are now so
plentiful that the dream of microcasting has become a reality – anyone can now
produce a show that maybe only a handful of people listen to – however, the
show is produced for them, like telling a story around the campfire for your
circle of friends. Listen Up 2 is a
colorful zine of podcast reviews that introduces readers to lesser-known
podcasts and even suggests episodes to begin listening with. Katie digs into podcasts like This is Actually Happening, and By the Book which you might otherwise overlook.
I hope she continues with regular podcast review zines – this is a very useful
resource to help you explore the expanding podcast universe.
