The Polybius Conspiracy is a perfect example of what I was mentioning in my previous post. The story is presented as a "factual" story, but the listener finds out later on that it is a fictional story.
Slate.com has a great article regarding their investigation into the production of the Polybius Conspiracy entitled "The Polybius Conspiracy Investigates an Urban Legend and Creates One". It is absolutely worth a read.
I will admit that even though the Polybius Conspiracy is fake, it was still a fun listen. But I was furious when I found out that the series was fictional. I felt like I was mislead. And in all honesty, I was.
