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?

Hmm, but her replies so far have all been interested and respectful. I actually was worried this whole post would be with her arguing back against the things people say are good about podfic, but she hasn't done that once.

It kind of seems like she's trying to figure out if the problem is just that she hasn't heard the right ones, or that the reasons people like them are not things that are going to apply to her, and therefore she should stop trying to find ones she likes.

I obviously can't actually speak for her, but that's the impression I have. I mostly just wanted to come to her defense in terms of her tone throughout this actually discussion post, which hadn't struck me as hostile or dismissive.
