This was really, really interesting to listen to. Thanks all of you!
As someone who has been in fandom since 1998 but only really been in "podfic fandom" as such for the last year or so, it was awesome to get this potted history which I'm pretty sure I've never seen all in one place before. It was also interesting to consider how my personal fandom biography intersects with the development of podfic in specific fandoms; if I'd been into SGA, or SPN earlier than I did get into it, I imagine I would probably have become involved with podfic sooner too. I didn't start listening until Inception came along and I didn't start recording until much later than that.
I'm fascinated by all the work that went into making podfic a, I guess, 'legitimate' fanwork and that is still an ongoing process. I would love to see e.g. AO3 create specific templates for podfic and fanart as well as fic. Some of those links I've seen before but they're still kind of mind-boggling ("tell me what the point of podfic is" is a question that I find it hard to imagine someone asking about fic or fanart or meta).
