Go! Tell it on the mountain!

fandomfan asks what's so great about podfic?. I'm not sure that it's particularly useful to have that discussion with someone for whom the mere concept hits her embarrassment squick, but, in the more general case, why do you like podfic? Why do you like listening to it, why do you like making it, why do you like manipulating it (if you make covers or podbooks or work on one of the archives), why do you like teaching other people to do it, why do you like discussing it here?

And, even more so, what do you say when someone who doesn't already get it asks these questions?

Yep, the discussion's happening on a journaling site, as do most of the best fannish discussions I've seen. Which is exactly why I'm so appreciative of you posting the topic in the first place.

The blog is, of course, a limited view of the fannish world, since it's just my own perspective and whatever (much appreciated) comments people decide to leave. But I also endeavor to make it something that provokes discussion and opinionated debate, as do the blogs/journals that I'm personally most interested in reading.

I'm getting very blah blah blah here, so I'll shut me up. But thanks again for all the spirited discourse. :)
