Mark My Wizard (Research, Inclusivity, & Collaboration) The Folkswagen sails off a cliff. Perry can explain, but it's going to take a while. Perhaps... a whole season. It all starts when the crew decides to visit other creators who specialize in making media about folklore studies. First, they visit Mark Norman - who lives behind a grocery store, inside a bizarre apartment complex shaped like a wizard's tower. After chatting about how Mark has managed to run his podcast for over eight years, the crew heads a few floors down in the tower. They encounter Daisy Ahlstone, one of the creators of Folkwise - a folklore-centric livestream show on Twitch. Daisy teaches Perry and Mason about inclusive research practices, and loads more In this episode: Participatory action research. The folklore of Scooby-Doo. Perry says "butts".

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.
