Cases Study of the Sound Fiction on Public Radio, rne, and on the Podcast Platform of Prisa Group in Spain

Abstract

The changes in listeners habits with new technologies and the appearance of digital audio creations with a different format from traditional radio spaces have increased the fictional podcast. Such is the case of Negra y criminal and El gran apagón from Podium Podcast (Prisa) and the irruption of novel formats like Tiempo de valientes and Carlos de Gante, from rne. The objective of this research is to carry out a comparative analysis of these new formats. To this end, we analyze these formats from Podium Podcast and rne in the season 2016-2017. The rne podcast complements the plot of the television series, the central nucleus of transmedia, with a brief duration and bases more on thoughts and narration than on action. On the other hand, Podium formats, which follow the American formula with longer duration, include narrative elements that break with the traditional radio theatre, in which action takes a prominent role over narration.
