I completely and totally missed the actual
pod_aware event, and this made me really down when I realised, becasue I am endlessly amazed at depth of insightful meta that podfic generates. I am not nearly as articulate as
revolutionaryjo or
podklb, in fact I am pretty much terrible at stringing two words together when I have to come up with them myself, but I still thought that I would belatedly contribute anyway.

And I'm not gonna lie guys, some of this stuff veers off course wildly, gets kind of weirdly heavy and personal and may actually offend you because I don't filter out my thoughts and therefore probably sound incredibly ignorant. So here, for your listening pleasure(?)....
