Podfic recs, please?
Feb. 2nd, 2012 09:48 pmI have a new phone! It's a smartphone, even, because that's the only kind of phone that came free with a new contract. So I have a smartphone, I even have a facebook account (against my protests, I almost never touched it, I plan to do so as rarely as possible, but still), and I feel a little less out of touch with the majority of people my age around me. ...that's actually sort of sad. Good thing I don't think it's particularly important.
Anyway, I found out that a convenient thing about having a smartphone is that you can listen to music on public transport rides. Or, even better: podfic! I tried it today and it was great. I see many podfics in my future \o/
But listening to podfic of my favorite stories, that I've read so many times that I know exactly what happens (sometimes even the sentences - yes, I love Retrograde that much), is not as exciting, and other than that I don't know where to start browsing the wonderful Audiofic Archive. So: Do you have any podfic recs for fandoms I know (see tags) or stories I don't need fandom knowledge for?

Date: 2012-02-03 01:23 pm (UTC)looks like you prefer gen? Here's a random sampler trending that way. Sorry they're not actual links but just paste the names into the audiofic archive, then you can choose mp3 or audiobook versions.
I just finished a re-listen of Tongues of Men and Angels - SGA/SG1 - (Mad_maudlin, read by constanceb) - really good. Mcshep in the end, but mostly gen content for the bulk of it.
Leverage/White collar crossover: I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal (and I Just Don't Get Any Respect) (fiercelydreamed, read by fishpatrol)
Who's Left and Who's Leaving - SGA (fiercelydreamed)
Beneath Your Heart - SGA (Perspi, read by jadesfire)
The Big Bang and Everything After - SGA/Firefly (by mandysbitch, read by general_jinjur)
Birds of a Feather - SGA/Due South (Rodney and Benton Fraser) (by julia_here, read by me)
In Dulce Jubilio - SG1 (Salieri, read by aces)
I am your image dressed as the world - SGA (by mirabile_dictu, read by rheanna). Mostly gen content, mcshep at the end.
So, a few to explore. Podfic is great, I love it! I can recc a few more if you give some ideas about preferred pairings or gen or genre etc.
Enjoy!

Humor, adventure, AU, teamfic etc. are all good, but I prefer nothing too sad or depressing. No longer than an hour or so (average travel time and back) would be convenient, too :)
