Time for the final discussion post! Regardless of where you are in your project, consider checking in to let us and everyone else involved in BtP know how you’re doing! You might inspire or encourage another group :D

Some prompt questions for you to think about:

  • Have you run into any technical or other brickspace obstacles? How have they affected the project?
  • If you haven't recorded yet, how do you plan to do it? What topics do you plan on covering?
  • If you have recorded, how did you record? How did what you had in mind for the interview translate into conversation?
  • Have the topics and/or scope of the interview changed from your initial ideas?
  • If you haven't edited yet, how do you plan on organizing editing?
  • If you have edited, how is it going? Any changes from your original editing plans?

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.

Some more questions for you to consider, now that we’re slightly further along the project timeline. All questions are optional :D

If you’ve already got some, or a lot, of your project done, consider commenting with a little detail about how yours is going, for groups who aren’t as far along. If you haven’t recorded yet, or are stuck for ideas, you might find some here!

  • Have you discovered any technical or other brickspace obstacles so far? How have they affected the project?
  • If you haven't recorded yet, how do you plan to do it? What topics do you plan on covering?
  • If you have recorded, how did you do it? How did what you had in mind for the interview translate into conversation?
  • Have the topics and/or scope of the interview changed from your initial ideas?
  • If you haven't edited yet, how do you plan on organizing it?
  • If you have edited, how is it going? Any changes from your original editing plans?
  • Is there any feedback you’d like to give us at this point, or anything we can do to help out?

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
