Dramapod, Slipstream, and David Milch

((In the Po-Mo dispersion of semantic form--(a clusterfxck of disjointed image, audio, and text. Sometimes I feel as though multimedia savviness (sic) pressures all simple scribes to feel as though they must evolve into Theraminic Octopi--8 armed, panoptically tonal, digital maestros--to remain relevant) I have found two labels which have been very appealing to me recently.))

Genre: Slipstream. Breaks free of the publishing/Barnes & Noble ghettoization of "Literature" and "Genre fiction."

Medium/Form: AudioDrama Podcasts(((A multimedia production that frees the audience's imagination from the digital age obsession with eyeball kicks. Gracefully free from the didactic, confused hegemony of literate culture in a return to the aural purity of human voice. Music and sound effects, too. Hiply unpretentious in a way that TV, film, and theatre no longer are. A rare instance of a technological advance (podcasting) to enable a return to pre-literate storytelling around a fire.)))

P.S. (((Interesting lecture series by Producer David Milch (Deadwood, John from Cincinnatti) on "The Idea of the Writer." Link)))
