Hey y'all! I am considering trying listening to podfics, but I have no idea where to start. Like, I read a lot of fanfic, but idk how one goes about listening to them? Is it like an app, or a download it kind of thing, or what? Do you have any advice or specific recommendations? In the past I have really, really struggled with books on tape because I cannot focus on just listening, but I like listening to like sort of documentary-ish videos while sewing and that's just a person talking, so probably I would be able to focus on audiobooks or podfics now?

#the person behind the yarn #I have nothing against audiobooks or podfics I think they are excellent!#It's great to have options and everybody has different accessibility requirements and preferences #I think part of my strong dislike for listening to them myself though came from my oldest sibling's high school reading #they did not like reading the assigned books so our mom got it on tape and it meant the only thing playing in the car #for like WEEKS was The Old Man and the Sea #but I was not in the car every time they were! So I couldn't follow the story! and I hated only getting bits of it #and then the next audiobook was on a road trip and it was...one of the robinson books I think #swiss family robinson or robinson carusoe? one of the stranded on an island classics #but the environment of the island made absolutely no sense #and the animals they described as native to the island could not reasonably exist in the same environment #and when I (age like 11 or 12 maybe) expressed that everyone else in the car thought it was funny #but I was genuinely very upset about the book's unrealistic depiction of animals lol #anyway none of that is relevant here I just want to try listening to stories again
