bethepod | Series 2 Intro post

Introducing Behind the Pod, a platform for podfic meta discussions!

Your mods are Annapods, Eafay and frecklebomb.

Behind the Pod is a podcast about podfic, with audio essays, interviews, and other meta discussion by different podficcers each episode. It started because we wanted to highlight and archive the meta discussions 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?
You can find Season 1 on AO3 (link to the Collection page).

Overview of the rules:

You can sign up as a group or as a solo project.

We will not be editing your audio, so do any editing you feel is necessary before you submit.

There is no minimum or maximum audio length and no set topics of discussion or restrictions on the format.

There are two mandatory-for-everyone check-ins, and many optional ones.

There will be no extensions for check-ins or submissions. Missing one will mean you are removed from the episode schedule, but will still be able to submit your project as a party favour.
