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?

There's also the concept that (while not applying to me personally) it makes fics accessible to those who would otherwise be unable to enjoy them (visually impaired or illiterate).

That's how I explained it to my mother when I had purchased my headset for podficcing.
