The Genre Analysis of True-Crime Podcasts Based on Selected Examples

Abstract

The article studies in detail two examples of the so-called 'true-crime podcasts', following the genological analysis scheme introduced by Maria Wojtak in Introduction to genology. It addresses not only their textual aspect, but also the audial part. In a broader perspective, this work attempts a systematic investigation of the 'podcast' in the genological context (as a relatively new and still dynamically evolving notion, it lacks a genre template) and its correlations within the mediasphere.
