[static_whisper]

Behind The Pod - Series (or Season) 2, Episode 5: Podficcers of Color Roundtable. Dated: August 2020.

Summary: In this episode, the panel introduces two new members, dance and Luna, and discusses how they feel being a person of color impacts their work as podficcers and how they experience podfic fandom. They also discuss how world events are impacting discussions of racism in society and in fandom, and examples of anti-racism work in podfic fandom. In addition, they address talkbacks from the previous roundtable and discuss some who's and how's of creating for CoC in podfic fandom. Finally, they discuss recs for podfics about CoC and/or by podficcers of color.

Don’t be afraid of reading a CoC focused fic as a non-PoC podficcer. (It’s not up to podficcers of color to try to read everything, y’know?) Depending on the character, you can do research like doing so for other accents and languages, but non-Black podficcers should avoid ‘blaccent’ or a caricature of AAVE.
