Happy 14th annual #ITPE/technically 1st Informal Tumblr Podfic Exchange!!!! Thank you for bearing with us in our switch to a new platform! We’ve had a few hiccups but now that we know where those are, future years will hopefully run much more smoothly!

Here’s some stats and highlights from this year’s #ITPE!

We had 81 participants this year, and you made 313 podfics (including some ~sekrit~ gifts not available on the masterlist) for a total run time of 140 hours, 59 minutes, and 4 seconds–that’s over FIVE DAYS of audio!

We have 4 simulpods this year! Which is less than we expected, given some of the niche fandoms and crossovers we matched y’all on, so congratulations on finding a diversity of fics to record! sunshineprincejeremyknox | flowerparrish and jeremyknox | kbirbpods were responsible for two of those simulpods, one which they gifted to each other and the other which they both gifted to the same person. eafay70 and tinybluebirdcloak both gifted the same fic to read-by-silverandblue. Finally, alliaskisthepossibilityoflove and rhea314 both recorded the same fic for different participants!

While #ITPE encourages participants to embrace the no-minimums, low-stress vibe, some of y’all do like to Do the Most, and we like to recognize extraordinary effort when we see it!

Opalsong, usually a notorious podfic robot, has had a lot going on this year in terms of school and was worried she would not be able to hit the productivity highs of previous years. So we, as mods, thought, “Great! We know what to do! We’ll match her with someone on one very specific OT3 that this recipient has been requesting for years, in a fandom not especially known for blanket permission, and that way Opal won’t feel compelled to make a bajillion podfics because the pool will be so small! We are solving so many problems with this match!” And we thought we were so clever! Only for Opalsong to find a 90k fanfic and turn in a 12 hour podfic. Well. We tried! But clearly Opalsong is going to Opalsong. <3

By far our most prolific gifter this year was sunshineprincejeremyknox | flowerparrish, who not only made 6 gifts for zir recipient (including a 4 hour podfic), but also 31 treats. Not far behind was mistbornhero who made 7 main gifts and 23 treats! jeremyknox | kbirbpods made 4 main gifts and 18 treats! We also had generous treaters in wanderingjedihistorian, reena-jenkins, blackestglass, pezzax, and wilfriede! Plus, honorable mentions to daisydiversions and Annapods for the 10 and 6 hour (respectively) podfics they made for their recipients!

Finally, we'd like to extend some thank you’s to:

-Data mod flowersforgraves for converting all the sign up data to airtable which makes matching so much easier.
-Asymptotical and Dragonflies_and_Katydids for creating the coding we used to generate distribution day templates.
-Everyone who offered to pinch hit, especially sunshineprincejeremyknox | flowerparrish and Jetainia, though thankfully we did not end up needing them to fulfill those pinch hits!
-And as always, exmanhater for ITPE’s permanent hosting

Now let’s get on to what you’re really here for…..the masterlist!! Here’s the masterlist spreadsheet for this year’s exchange!

Happy listening!!!
