In conversation with Jeff Gomez by Henry Jenkins and Colin MacClay on pop culture published on 2018-02-23T22:22:05Z Today, we release the second episode of our podcast, How Do You Like It So Far?, with more responses to The Last Jedi. This time, we check in with Jeff Gomez from Starlight Runner, a leading figure in the world of transmedia storytelling. Gomez has been running a series of blog posts which explore the emergence of what he calls "The Collective Journey" as a new storytelling structure at work in contemporary popular media, a story structure which he sees exemplified by, for example, Game of Thrones. Genre Entertainment Comment by Gina Marcello I really enjoyed the podcast. Of particular note is when Jeff stated, "That's a huge audience that will abandon you if you don't validate and celebrate their participation." I think this signifies a seismic shift. Fans now expect to be recognized.
