PODFIC FRIENDING MEME TIME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

[hagar_972]

Oh ugh I'm taking so many notes this week. I've been a pod_together participant a few years now but I came in from the writer side, and I only just started toeing across that line.

I'm so jealous of all the podficcers who live in the same city and can meet up!

This is really fascinating. I'm only about 15 minutes in but I'm curious what people would say to newbies who feel like they're disconnected from the community? I'm kind of... I guess, socially anxious about putting myself out there and just diving in to conversations and stuff, so I find it hard to connect. I've made some awesome podfic friends through just practical interactions like looking for a beta (and then I totally just latched on, haha) but I feel like there are so many disparate networks now that it's hard to keep up that interaction. People that I meet through challenges and stuff don't always use the same platform as me so it's hard to maintain those relationships.

Is Twitter still the best place to connect? I generally feel like I'm just shouting into the void when I try to use Twitter, but I also totally agree with finnagain that tumblr feels like a weird space for podfic and also for making friends. I'm one of the LJ people that moved to tumblr and kind of... failed at Twitter. But maybe I should try and suck it up and learn to use it :P

I posted a podcast about multipods done by bessyboo, exmanhater and myself. :)

There's a schedule for the IRC chatroom we discussed posted here. The first chat is scheduled for tomorrow!

[dodificus]

This was a really interesting podcast, the first I've listened to and luckily I was able to live tweet my thoughts and questions to klb as I was listening:)

[paraka]

So, I listened to this podcast throughout the day at work and it gave me a lot to think about, so while I was driving home, I made a really quick and dirty response (seriously, I haven't even relistened to it and I'm driving so sometimes get distracted by traffic, there's car noises, etc.).

Wonderful podcast! You've convinced me to branch out in terms of social media! :) I made a quick and dirty tumblr post/response here: http://princeofsparkles.tumblr.com/post/102477019889/pod-aware-time-podfic-isnt-made-in-a-vacuum-and
