The modes of narration in an audio based storytelling format can take many forms, these may be specific to a genre or type of story but each takes a slightly different form each with different implications. The world of actual play podcasts, also, take a different approach to narration in the role of the GM acting as actor, conveyor of the story and as themselves. I intend to explore how exactly these forms of narration affect the concept of the fourth wall and the relationship between the podcaster(s) and the listener.
