Digital Folklore
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.
