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?

one thing I like about podfic

Podfic reminds me of the epiphany I had when I went to a convention: online fandom consists of real people! Er, which I knew already, but nothing beats experiential knowledge. Hearing a real live person read fanfiction out loud to me makes fandom seem more real.
