Neo-Victorian Transmedia Storyworlds interview

Arnold Schmidt, writer and director of the Tales from the Penny Bloods podcast series, offers insights from himself and his team into the makings of a podcast series. Processes of selection and adaptation are discussed and the project is theorised in relation to transmedia storytelling. Tales from the Penny Bloods provides points of access to Victorian adaptations across visual, textual and aural media, and can enhance our pedagogical interventions with Victorian popular culture. The interview makes a case for the continuing importance of the Penny Blood, particularly as adapted and re-formatted for a twenty-first century listener.
