Feedback is an issue that means quite a lot to me. I LOVE it when I get feedback, I get so emotional and giddy over all of it. I don't think in podfic fandom there is enough of it. I have lots to say, but ... one thing at a time.
Fan artists love feedback and podficcers are no different. Feedback can motivate us, inspire our muse and help us create more of out art. However feedback on podfic can be rather light. To find out how you can help increase feedback for podfic check out

DW Podcast! With
me! We recorded this twice. The first one was about 4 hours long, but we found out afterwards that the data didn't record.

I haven't listened to the podcast as I feel way too self-conscious, even if I sound stupid, I'm sure the content is interesting.
