Podfics
Of podfics read by general jinjur, thingswithwings said:
jinjur is the undisputed god of podfic, the maintainer of the archive to which I have linked all through this recs set, and she's also an accomplished and enthusiastic reader herself. [...] She's another American lady, with those really great American As and Os on words like 'not' and 'bar' and 'sorry' and 'had' and 'Rodney' and 'obviously' and 'god.' I love her slightly-brash slightly-wry matter-of-fact reading voice. She'll try to convince you that she's a reader of depressing epics, and while she does read depressing epics beaaaaauutifully [...] don't let her fool you; she has great comic timing and has read some brilliant comedy [...]. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that she's an amazing reader and that she's read practically every genre of fic that you can think of; I could survive for months on jinjur-read podfic alone. She's funny but not goofy, and emotional but not TOO serious; you really can't go wrong with her stuff.[3]
