Author: Perry Carpenter & Mason Amadeus | Realm October 9, 2023 Duration: 58:50
Welcome to another installment of Digital Folklore Unplugged. Unplugged episodes are all about stripping away the fancy production elements so that we can give you access to raw (or slightly edited) interviews with folklore experts. This is part two of our interview with Dr. Lynne McNeill. If you’ve not yet listened to part 1, you can find it here… but that’s not really necessary to appreciate today’s discussion. Lynne McNeill’s name is nearly synonymous with the study of Digital Folklore. Her work and her voice has been instrumental in helping people understand that our online world is just an extension of our lives… and it’s not only a place where folklore can arise… but thrive at a speed and scale previously unimaginable. In this episode, Lynne shares her thoughts about the value of studying folklore academically, how digital platforms influence the types of folklore created on them, the concept of Poe's Law, examples of digital legend tripping, her favorite urban legends, and more… This is an action packed episode that you won't want to miss.

Step into a world where the myths of the digital age are made real. Digital Folklore, hosted by Perry Carpenter and Mason Amadeus from Realm, is a narrative journey that uses immersive fiction as a lens to examine our online lives. Each episode delves into a specific piece of internet culture-a viral phenomenon, a beloved meme, a shared online legend-and unpacks the very human history and social forces that created it. This isn't just analysis; it's an audio experience that places you inside a story, making the exploration of technology's impact on society feel immediate and personal. You'll hear from experts and researchers who provide genuine insight, but their contributions are woven seamlessly into a rich, fictional tapestry. The result is a podcast that transcends typical categories, offering the depth of a documentary and the engagement of a serialized drama. For anyone curious about why we create, share, and believe the things we do online, Digital Folklore reveals the underlying patterns and ancient human behaviors dressed in new, digital clothes. It’s for those who find truth in story and who understand that our modern legends, born in forums and social feeds, are just as revealing as any ancient myth.
