GateWorld Podcast: Transmedia

Visit the GateWorld Podcast page for more about the show!

Go out in public. Almost anywhere you look you will find someone with their head in a smartphone, or ears plugged into an MP3 player. This is not going away.

As time passes, movie and TV distributors are recognizing more and more that people consume media in different formats, and that there is a huge potential to share their ideas across more than just the cineplex and televisions.

David and Diana devote this edition of the GateWorld podcast to transmedia, telling parts of the same story across multiple mediums. Specifically, we touch on what SyFy is now doing with its series, Defiance, in this regard. Speaking of portable electronics, we also take time to talk about Stargate SG-1 Unleashed, our upcoming visit to Space City Con in Houston, and much more!

Contact the Podcast Hotline! You can also suggest a topic for a future show, or just sound off on Stargate and the state of science fiction. Leave a voicemail on the Podcast Hotline number below.

  • Interesting and appropriate topic for discussion. It is amazing how media choices have evolved over the years. As a kid I remember watching television via an antenna receiving channels from 90 miles away. Now I would be lost without my smartphone, tablet, and broadband connection to keep in touch with distant friends and the events of the world around me. This has the [potential to be an interesting podcast.
