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!

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!!!

Happy 13th annual #ITPE!!!! As we mentioned on Twitter when we opened sign-ups, this is likely the last year we'll run the exchange on Twitter given the Elongated Musk of it all and its rapidly degrading usability. We don't make this decision easily and we're sad that a beloved staple of podfic fandom must necessarily come to an end. It's been a joy and an honor to run this exchange for you. We'll be in touch in a few weeks to discuss the future of the exchange. It's unlikely we'll find a platform that will allow us to completely re-create a lot of the culture around the exchange, but we're hopeful we'll find a way to make sure we can serve as much as the community as we can in collaboration with you. <3

In happier and more exciting new, here’s some stats and highlights from this year’s #ITPE!

We had 59 participants this year, and you made 320 podfics (including some ~sekrit~ gifts not available on the masterlist) for a total run time of 185 hours, 1 minute and 54 seconds—that’s over SEVEN DAYS of audio! Even though we had considerably less participants this year, y'all managed to produce nearly as much audio as last year!

We had 6 simulpods. This year’s lattice_frames Award (named after her when she did this three years running) goes to

theshmaylor and

spirographeme for podficcing each other the same main gift!

Opalsong and

heriros also podficced the same gift for each other (as a main gift and a treat, respectively). Opalsong and

flowerparrish podficced 2 of the same stories to treat other participants in the exchange and

bluegeekEM and

Jetpods podficced the same story as a gift for their recipients. Finally, in a delightful turn of events,

mulb_graceful gifted

esbielle with the same fic that esbielle gifted

revolutionaryjo!

Our resident podfic robot Opalsong didn't disappoint, producing 27 podfics this year.

reenajenkins focused on length over quantity, producing nearly 11 and a half hours of audio and treating just about everyone who requested Stranger Things. flowerparrish went absolutely wild this year, producing 22 main gifts for zir recipient and 24 treats, for a total of 46 podfics.

MistbornHero had a productive year as well, producing 14 main gifts and 11 treats, for a total of 25 podfics! We also had generous treaters in

pieces0fstars and

kbirbpods, who made 17 and 14 treats, respectively!

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

-Data mod

flowersforgraves for converting all the sign up data to airtable which made matching seamless this year.
-

Asymptotical and

Dragonflies_and_Katydids for creating the coding we used to generate distribution day templates.
-

SMadd9 for pinch hitting

Happy 12th annual #ITPE!!!! Here’s some stats and highlights from this year’s #ITPE!

We had 71 participants this year, and you made 352 podfics (including some ~sekrit~ gifts not available on the masterlist) for a total run time of 185 hours, 55 minutes and 47 seconds—that’s over SEVEN DAYS of audio! Even though we had considerably less participants this year, y'all managed to outperform last year's output (when we had a record number of participants)!

This was the year of multipods! 10 stories received the multipod treatment, with one story getting triple-podded by what we affectionately called our Stranger Things loop. Hilariously,

exmanhater recorded a story for

greedydancer, which she recorded for

melancholymace, who then recorded that story for

reenajenkins. This loop was responsible for 3 other multipods, courtesy of

reenajenkins podding the entirety of one bp author's oeuvre, whom

greedydancer and

exmanhater also podded. (In fact,

reenajenkins and

exmanhater gifted each other the same story.)

kajebirb gifted

Opalsong two podfics that

Opalsong recorded as gifts for other participants. Similarly,

Yevievt recorded a gift for

sisi_rambles who also recorded that same story for their recipient.

knight_tracer and

the24thkey both podded the same story for

Smadd9, while

heriros and

MistbornHero recorded the same story for

flowerparrish. Finally,

kitsuneheart and

MistbornHero both podficced the same story for different participants.

Let's check in with our podfic robots this year, shall we?

Opalsong) was back to her typical ITPE form, producing 40 podfics for over 41 hours of audio.

reenajenkins had a relatively sedate year (for her) but managed to produce 24 podfics for over 10 hours of audio.

blackestglass produced 31 treats, on top of covering 2 main gift assignments, and

MistbornHero produced 21 treats for nearly 9 hours of audio. Other generous treaters included

flowerparrish and

roseszain who made 13 and 12 treats respectively.

And finally, some thank you’s to:

-

Asymptotical and

Dragonflies_and_Katydids for helping the mods with figuring out the coding to create templates for DM-ing your gifts this year, since we lost our data mod this year.
-

silverbluefic for helping the mods figure out how to set up the AO3 collection and sign-ups
-

flowerparrish and

blackestglass for pinch hitting
-And as always,

Happy 11th annual #ITPE!!!! The first #ITPE was in 2011— can you believe it’s been 10 whole years??!

2021 has been A Year and we’re grateful for everyone who participated despite everything that’s been going on. Here’s some stats and highlights from this year’s #ITPE!

We had 84 participants this year, and you made 296 podfics (including some ~sekrit~ gifts not available on the masterlist), in about 127 fandoms, for a total run time of 176 hours, 52 minutes and 7 seconds—that’s over SEVEN DAYS of audio!

There were 5 simulpods. This year’s lattice_frames Award (named after her when she she did this three years running) goes to

c_ea_ze and

FumblesMcStupd, for podficcing each other the same main gift, with a hat tip to

knight_tracer and

pxssnelke for both podficcing two of the other five simulpods. In a delightful turn of events,

sisi_rambles made a gift for her recipient,

RionaaP, who also podficced that same fic for THEIR recipient!

How did our resident podfic robots do this year? Opal–”Oh, I’m probably going to be too busy to podfic much this year”–song (

opalsong) still managed a whopping 19 gifts for her recipient this year, INCLUDING a super-sekrit 5 and a half hour long multivoice.

reenajenkins also had a relatively sedate year (for her) but managed to treat almost a dozen people on top of her very generous gifts for her recipient. While she cannot compete in terms of cumulative audio length, this year,

blackestglass inadvertently podficced her way to most number of gifts in the collection after trying to rig #ITPE to get more Murderbot podfics and, when that didn’t pan out, deciding that she was just going to have to make it happen herself by treating everyone who requested that fandom. Special shout-outs to

esbielle who created a nearly 10 hour podfic for their recipient and to

JoCarthage who created an 18 HOUR PODFIC for their recipient!! Holy wow!

And finally, some thank you’s to:

-

regretsonmain for handling the data and creating data-related memes (this year the team united a data scientist

regretsonmain and a librarian

vworpvworp and we hope

blackestglass and

knight_tracer enjoyed our Opinions on categorization)
-

flowerparrish for pinch hitting
-

Gilraina for editing assistance
-And as always,
