“…When approaching a "fan" podcast like TBSCC, however, it is necessary to grapple with its internal ambivalences, tensions, and contradictions. Just as Tiffe and Hoffmann (2017) have suggested that podcasts open up a rich space to interrogate beyond bodily presence to consider who is allowed to sonically "take up space" in culture (p. 116), TBSCC poses similar questions about who is allowed to "take up space" in fan discourses and practices. Although the ongoing exploration of fanfiction as a practice that centers minority voices and creators is vital, it is equally essential to consider when and how fanfiction as a mode of cultural production either replicates biases or inequities or actively alienates the very demographics it claims to champion.…”

“It’s All Bread, All the Way Down”: The Baby-Sitters Club Club as Hyperfanfiction

In February 2016, co-hosts Jack Shepherd and Tanner Greenring launched their comedy podcast The Baby-Sitters Club Club. The “joke” at the center of the podcast was, of course, that two adult, cishet, white men were exhaustively recapping and dissecting a book series from the 1980s and 1990s that was predominantly popular with adolescent girls. What began as a podcast designed to poke fun at the co-hosts’ serious “fannish” analysis of a nostalgic series of novels for girls, evolved into an elaborate string of “fan” theories, literary close readings, and (inter)textual expansion. Building on Paul Booth’s discussion of hyperfans, this article theorizes the absurdist worldbuilding, mythology and character development, and intertextual play performed by the hosts of TBSCC as a form of hyperfanfiction.

“…While there are true crime podcasts that pre-date Serial (e.g., Generation Why, 2012, and True Murder, 2010), many post-Serial podcasts, like Undisclosed and Suspect Convictions, address past criticism of the true crime genre, such as how people of color, the poor, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other marginalized members of society were often portrayed as the criminals in true crime, but seldom as the victims. These podcasts provide a platform for voiceless victims and have been described as more "legitimate," less tawdry portrayals of crime storytelling than earlier true crime narratives (e.g., Browder 2010;Doane, McCormick, and Sorce 2017;Greer 2017;Tiffe and Hoffmann 2017). For the purposes of this study, the way that journalists describe this new form of true crime can help us to understand how its reputation as a genre has evolved with the explosive growth of the podcast.…”

Recently, true crime podcasting has exploded. These podcasts organizations mobilize resources, compete with other organizations, gain legitimacy, and focus on sustaining foundings and preventing mortalities. This study uses a mixed methods approach to explore this media phenomenon from the perspective of organizational ecology. A demography of true crime podcasts was conducted and population density over time was calculated. Content analysis of news articles mentioning "true crime podcasts" was conducted to understand how journalists from other media organizations act as legitimacy agents to confer public legitimacy on organizations within the population. Explanation of the true crime podcasts' ecosystem is provided, as well as evidence of growing public legitimacy.

“…With roots in progressive alternative media, Black podcasts were instrumental in African-American women's use of online space for social justice (Cole & Guy-Sheftall, 2009;Tiffe & Hoffmann, 2017). As an online medium, podcasting opened up space for a wide variety of discursive cultures within the Black community.…”

African-American podcasting's ascent marks a potent articulation of Black identity and experience in media history, one reaching an unprecedented range of audiences, dialogs, and online communities. This study examines how content, production practices, and digital audiences for Black podcasting generate a metaphorical curriculum for blackness, a set of discursive cultural guides for listeners. Case studies representative of major genres and publishing sectors where Black podcasting flourished from 2010 to 2020 include humorous commentary on popular entertainment in The Read (2013-), independent media's exploration of Black life in The Nod (2014-2020), and legacy media's in-depth cultural criticism and analysis in Still Processing (2016-).
