Series 4, Episode 2: Podficcers of Color Roundtable Discussion 4

In this episode, the panel introduces three new members, Blue, Tyson, and RQ, and discusses how they feel being a person of color impacts their work as podficcers and how they experience podfic fandom. They also discuss examples of anti-racism policies and events centering characters of color in podfic fandom. In addition, they address talkbacks from the previous roundtable as well as recs for podfics about characters of color and/or by podficcers of color.
