A number of authors view the relationship between storytelling and technological advancement as something disjointed. This relationship is one that is viewed as being beneficial only to the side of technology, and harmful to the side of storytelling. In this paper, I will argue that these technological advances do not affect the stories that people choose to tell, and do not destroy forms of storytelling that have flourished in the past. With the evolution of technology, the ways that we tell stories and the types of stories we choose to access do not change. Instead, changes occur in the ways that people access and consume these stories. This thesis looks specifically at the evolution of radio and the sudden rise in the popularity of podcasts to substantiate this argument. Thus, the argument focuses on the ways in which audiences, and radio have adapted to new forms of technology and social media with/through the introduction of podcasts. The thesis presents this argument using a combination of textual anaysis and qualitative and ethnographic research. Furthermore, it discusses two specific podcasts, This American Life and Serial, and presents research on what has made these two examples so popular in our technological age. Lastly, the thesis presents the findings collected from nine interviews with listeners and creators of podcasts to further examine why people are drawn to podcasting as a storytelling medium. The findings of the interviews and the research demonstrate the current popularity of narrative podcasts as well as that storytelling is alive and well in new technological formats.
