I can't hear you, I'm wearing a towel

So Podfics.

I never really... got into them? I don't know why, I just would kind of skim on past if someone on my flist pointed them out (except for my own, those I would announce gleefully) but still, I was always so meh about them and I have no idea why.

Mostly, I have a fairly long car trip to and from work EVERY DAY and I have no idea why I haven't made myself a damn LIBRARY of podfics to listen to before.

So a plea for the flist - point me in the direction of your favourites (if they're still available), point me in the direction of yours, point me in the direction of older ones of mine because they're on my old laptop with the horrible virus so I dare not risk importing them across. Make new ones for me - hearing all the accents is DELIGHTING me.

I would make hundreds for you all but I have no idea how and I'm sure my Aussie accent would kill you all.

Comments are screened if you want to sling one my way but don't want to share with the populace at large but I'll unscreen any where you don't mind doing that.

I would go and raid amplificathon and check out the amplirecathon tag. It was fabulous for recs this year. My recs were here, but I could put up so many more now. That was like a month or two after I discoverd the whole Podfic thing.

reena_jenkins is a very cool reader, who does quite a lot of crack!fic. speccygeekgrrl and FayJay have nice clear voices too.

I recently listened to Easy There (Merlin BBC) read by revolutionaryjo and really enjoyed it.

If there's something specific you're after, I'll have a look through the ones I've listened to already and let you know if I can rec you something.

P.S. I do occasionally read podfic under another user name, and the aussie accent doesn't seem to turn people off. Happy to read a fic for you at some point if you'd like that.

Feel free to unscreen.

I would like that very much! :D

I've just been through your rec lists and have a pile of stuff to listen to. I'm going to check out your resources too... I might dabble in recording some of my own but it will probably be very rough to begin with... heh!

I'm having a lot of fun with them!

I just asked lots and lots of questions over at podfic_tips and I lashed out and bought a nice microphone, since I wanted to play with one for other reasons anyway. :D

I got this mic and would recommend it if you are ever interested in buying a nice one: amazon link

Oooooh... with the Aussie dollar strong I'm all about the Amazon purchases. It's my birthday in a week so maybe I can get someone to buy me that for funsies!

I might have to come back and pick your brains when I start out and I'll definitely check out that comm.

Fun!
