Welcome to Behind the Pod, a platform for podfic meta discussions!

Your mods are Annapods, Eafay and frecklebomb.

Behind the Pod is a podcast about the backstage processes of podfic, with audio essays, interviews, and other meta discussion by different podficcers each episode. You can find all previous episodes on our AO3 page.

Behind the Pod started because we wanted to highlight and archive the meta discussions about podfic that were already happening on twitter, discord, tumblr, at in-person meet-ups and in private chats. What better way to do that than through an audio challenge?

This series is shorter (and sweeter?), and has a brand new content moderation policy, and we're already excited for what everyone will be talking about!
