Choose Your Own Adventure: Podcast Web 2.0 Remix

• Each story starts with a podcast "stub" that is a small intro to a story, posted online. Users can also propose their own "stubs".
• Users post a podcast response to the stub, where the subject heading is a decision that the reader must make. For example: "To go down the unlit stairwell, click here." The story would continue and the user would record their own story lines and plot twists. For example: "After walking down the unlit stairwell, you open the door that leads to a gigantic underground repository for Hugh Hefner's Viagara stash..."
• Users can continue to post altnerate decisions to the original stub or add a new "chapter" to an existing podcast response. A visual "tree" diagram would allow users to see new postings and decision points.
• Users would vote on story "threads" (i.e., a string of podcast responses from various users strung together) and individual podcasts.
