RevolutionaryJo is a prolific podficcer and visual artist who has worked in a number of fandoms.

Notable Podfics

MCU

RevolutionaryJo did the podfics for Speranza's 4 Minute Window series, a project of 21 podfics over 8 years (2015 - 2023.)

RevolutionaryJo's contributions to the series also include a number of sub-artworks, including not just the podfic covers, but a number of in-world posters, a collaborative reading of letters featuring many other notable podficcers, and a fake episode of a real podcast from the Brooklyn Historical Society, Flatbush + Main. She also made two musical playlists for the series on Spotify: 4 Minute Window: Music featured in the podfic and New Year's At Farrell's: Songs from the twenties for the 2020s, from the 4 Minute Window series.

Other

podfic and audiobook created in April 2010. In addition, they also created the cover art for the audiobook which can be found on the Audiofic Archive.[1] The podbook is 3 hours and 24:31 min long.

Oh my god! This podfic is beautiful and amazing and soothes my SOUL! I just re-listened to this yesterday because I’d read something that had sent me into a terrible fit of FEELINGS and sadness and revolutionaryjo’s voice was the perfect application of awesome to make me feel better. Spock’s POV works so well for me and I loved Jo’s amazing ability to make Spock sound badass, competent, logical but also with FEELINGS! (I over identify with Spock sometimes). It’s an amazing story. I love how the story moves between two times and Jo makes each one sound distinct. \bonding/ [2]

Fandom Activity

In response to several publicized misunderstandings regarding Podfic Permission in 2010, revolutionaryjo wrote Dear Author (podfic letter) in October 2010, which started a trend of writing a generic "dear author" letter to clearly outline the podficcer's expectations when an author grants permission. In her original post, dated 18 October 2010, Jo remarked, "There have been a lot of discussions floating around about podfic lately that are making me realize just how easily miscommunication can happen between a podficcer and an author."

Jo, along with Bessyboo, was a founder of Podfication, the first podfic con, which began in 2016. Jo performed at Pacificon 2016.
