– "Bio" Auralphonic AO3 Profile
The podcast was initially hosted by Dodificus, Paraka and Jenepod before moving on to a "guest hosts" format in 2016. Originally, it would post on/around the 15th of every month, before switching to the 25th in 2017.[2]
The artwork associated with the podcast, depicting three platypus in a pile in front of a microphone, was created by yue_ix and continues the association of podficcers to the animal based on the Podfic Platypus meme.[3]
The theme music used at the beginning and end of episodes was Carefree by Kevin MacLeod.

Reactions and Reviews
Since this episode was about feedback, I thought I'd leave both kudos and a written comment. First, I can't believe the time and energy it must take to put this show together each month - amazing job, guys. Not only the time it takes to edit out the flubs and the breakdowns into laughter, but to add the links and put the whole thing up on so many platforms! Wow! The sound quality is fabulous as well; so clear and crisp. [...] -- keravon, AO3 comment, March 19, 2015[6]
RE: Episode 14, I just wanted to say that even as someone who doesn’t record or listen to podfic (yet), I really like listening to your podcast. It’s always interesting to hear about the processes of something I’m not involved in, and there’s so much to learn about podficcing and the podfic fandom! [...] -- jayeinacross, Feb 7, 2016[7]
Binge listening to @auralphonic podcast and IT'S SO GOOD WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL THIS TIME! -- @rindle_fps, July 3, 2017[8]
