Yeah, I guess what makes podfic different from fanfic is that someone's voice would be more likely to get a person-who-knows-them-in-RL's attention (in an "I know someone who sounds kinda like that") way, and if it got their attention enough, they could go to that person's journal and confirm. I think most of the time, if someone googled a person's fandom username with enough dedication, they could find enough hints about where the person lived, when the person's birthday was, etc., that they could confirm their suspicions, or at least make them a lot more solid.

It would take a decent amount of effort on the part of the person investigating, but I see how it is possible, even for me, to get discovered for podfic, not *solely* through voice, but through a combination of voice and other small clues.

I've been dealing with that by trying to remove identifying info from my journal, though. And maybe I could even imagine, if I got a really sensitive job (politics or whatever, as someone below mentioned), orphaning my podfic and locking down my journal so there was no username to track back from it. Maybe I would get an entirely new journal (if I felt the need for one) that had no association with my podfic, so I could still participate in fandom but not be connected to the podfic. What I would not do is take down the podfic, because I still very firmly believe that nobody could place me based on that alone. (And I have very strong feelings against people taking down things they have contributed publicly to fandom, for any reason less than a terrible life emergency).
