HI Y'ALL

After six months of hard work and secret recordings, [personal profile] idella and I are thrilled to announce that Podfic Broken Telephone is LIVE.

PBT was an experimental podfic challenge that treated podfic as a prompt. Person A recorded a podfic. Person B received that podfic, pulled out at least one "key" element, and used that as a prompt for their podfic. Person C received Person B's podfic, and all the way down until we ran out of participants. No one knew what podfics or podficcers had come before their prompt, or what was made after theirs.

To keep run time to under six months, we ran three chains simultaneously, which all ran the full length of the challenge and which all started with the same podfic. Check out everyone's hard work here! Every chain turned out completely differently.

Chain 1
Chain 2
Chain 3

Watch for updates to this post for links to MP3 zips and podbooks! We ran a little behind schedule putting those together, but wanted to reveal the chains today anyway.


We'd also like to invite you to post any meta about this in the comments below! The challenge was run primarily by email and included people from all over fannish platforms, and this is where we're hoping to let everyone come together to talk about the experience.

It was such a fun podfic-prompt! I'm afraid it didn't convince me to watch Slings and Arrows, but it did convince me to finally read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, which is amazing, so thank you for that!

I'm so glad it was a good prompt for you! (the first season of S&A is only 6 episodes and imo very worth it, but I can rest well satisfied that my podfic got you to read that book and that you enjoyed it)
