I'm the guest reccer for November, and I'll be reccing podfics (which I did last year too, but hey, I like podfics).
First off, I'll rec a couple of short ones. Short podfics often get overlooked, maybe because of the process of downloading a podfic and then putting it on your mp3-player takes a little bit of effort. By contrast, a short fic is right there on the screen. But a short podfic may be the perfect thing to listen to while you clear the table after dinner, for example.
When I went looking for short podfics, it actually turned out that there were so many that I wanted to rec that this will be the first post of two. (Just as a tip, you can browse the
browse the Audiofic Archive by combining multiple categories, for example "due South" and "under 10 minutes".)

Why I'm reccing this podfic: This is Ande's first podfic, and I was right there in the room when she recorded it (at Bitching Party). I love Ande's reading and wish she would record more, because she's a natural at it--the pacing is great, and her voice is so expressive. And the snippet is a delightful conversation between Fraser and his father.

Why I'm reccing this podfic: This fic is short, chilling, and opens a whole world of possibility. It's one of those snippets that stay with you, and
slidellra's clear and expressive reading makes it even more so.

Why I'm reccing this podfic: This snippet is full of delicious, tasty UST, and it also has Fraser telling a fairy tale about the Kinsey report. Since it's a fic about storytelling, it feels very appropriate to record as a podfic, and as always, I love Mal's reading.
