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.

Liked the idea of Behind the Pod but didn’t feel up to the full timeline? Have an idea but didn’t get around to approaching another podficcer to make it happen? All the episode slots filled up before you could sign up? Just want a low-commitment option? Party Favours might be for you!

There is no need to sign up - Party Favours will have no check-ins, and not much mod interaction until submission. We’ll give you everything you need to make a Party Favour right here, a submission deadline, and then it’s all yours! The Resources & Templates folder (where you can find Audacity screenshots, metadata, cover images, intro & outro WAV files, and everything else) is here: (GDRIVE LINK).

Submission of Party Favours closes on Sunday 8 December.
All Party Favours will be published on Sunday 22 December.

Introducing Behind the Pod, an interview feature series that showcases the backstage process of podficcers and podfics!

Your mods are Annapods and frecklebomb.

Have you ever listened to a podfic and wondered how they did that thing? Do you have a favorite podfic that you would love to know the backstory of? When you are making your own podfics, are you curious how other people’s process differs from yours? Is there a specific aspect of podficcing you don’t really do but would love to learn about?

On the other hand, is there a particular way you do podfic that you think people should know? Do you have a specific podfic with a backstory you want to tell? A particular technique or a project you did something specific with that you really want to talk about? Do you have experience with a less-discussed aspect of podficcing, like hosting, cover art, modding…?

If any of these viewpoints feel relevant to you, consider signing up for Behind the Pod. As an interviewer, get the answers you’ve been wanting to know! As a interviewee, showcase a project or technique or knowledge! Or do both!

If you’re curious about where we got the idea and what it could look like, check this tweet, that spawned another subthread and then this follow-up thread announcing the vague beginnings of the series.

( FAQ 1-10 )
11) Rules recap:

You must sign up as a group of two or more, we will not be matching people together for this round.

There will be 6 episodes in this series, and thus space for 6 groups to sign up.

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

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

There is one mandatory-for-everyone check-in, and many optional ones.

Schedule:
12 May - 16 June: sign-ups
31 Aug - 08 Sep: mandatory check-in + posting date claiming
29 Sep - 22 Dec: submissions/posting
