“…Therefore, if according to McLuhan the capacity of the ear was extended through the radio, the digital age has extended the capacity of the radio through podcasts. In fact, podcasting is becoming increasingly popular and many media analysts consider we are entering its golden age (Roose, 2014;Berry, 2015;Bristow-Bovey, 2017). 4 Unlike radio, podcasts are free from time constraints and unregulated by the Federal Communications Commission or any other agency.…”

The digital age has facilitated the creation of fluid, open stories that are subject to change as they unfold across different media platforms, each contributing to the story as a whole. Transmedia storytelling is also linked to transhumanism, a philosophy based on the idea that human limitations can be overcome through reason, science and technology to finally free us from the limitations of our bodies and minds. The concept of the literary has changed because the concept of the human has also evolved, as technology has been used to enhance both human capacities and storytelling through active participation, group work, and collective intelligence. This double enhancement that transmedia and transhuman storytelling entail is explored in this article through a textual and paratextual analysis of Serial, the world’s most popular podcast, which can help us redefine the present blurring of disciplinary boundaries and the new territory of the literary.

In 2004, a new movement began. It was one that promised democratisation of media production tools and the means to freely distribute work. Using domestic tools and open source software the pioneers threatened to disrupt the top down media ecosystem that we were used to. That movement was podcasting. In the ten years that have passed since we first heard the word 'Podcast' thousands of podcasts have started, audiences have grown steadily, technologies have evolved and the medium has become increasingly professionalised. By 2015 the medium had become a significant talking point through the success of podcasts such as Serial, Start-up and WTF, suggesting that podcasting may have reached maturity.

“…Atualmente, no Brasil, existem mais de dois mil podcasts ativos (ABPod) 1 e, desde 2010, foram produzidos cerca de 1.500 episódios de podcast por ano (Volt Data Lab) 2 . Considerado como uma mídia que surgiu em 2004 e renasceu em 2014 (BERRY, 2015), o podcast pode ser acessado em qualquer momento e lugar, apenas com o uso de um smartphone. Os arquivos, por usarem o sistema de podcasting, não dependem de uma transmissão contínua para que sejam consumidos, precisando apenas de um acesso inicial a uma rede de internet.…”
