I second all the recs posted so far. Four more to add on:
The Long Narrow Rope, by pdragon76, read by twasadark. Pre-series, John's POV. twasadark reads an incredible weary-parent John. This was the podfic that made me decide I had to download pretty much all of twasadark's podfic. This fic is my favorite kind of take on John, too - he messes up (sometimes pretty badly), but ultimately he's trying to do right by his sons.
When Heroes Go Down (They Go Down Fast), by buffyaddict13, read by darkemeralds (emeraldsedai). This is a long apocafic branching off of S2. The character and world building is amazing, and darkemeralds does an amazing job with it.
The Gloria series, by unoshot, read by crinklysolution. A beautiful gen fic about Castiel. I'm a big fan of crinklysolution in general, but I've always especially loved her use of sound in this podfic. It's really subtle, and it works beautifully.
The Fundamental Image series, by rei_c, read by leviticus_lied. Pre-series (high school and Stanford era, depending on the story) Sam-centric. The writing is gorgeous, and leviticus_lied reads these stories perfectly. She gets Sam's frustration, fear, and conflicted emotions just right.
