Why do you enjoy podfic?

So I thought this would be a great introductory question to start us off! What gets you going when it comes to podfic? Why do you enjoy it?

I'm relatively new to podfic, both listening to it and recording it, but I love the amazing performances I've heard, particularly of my own fic - it really brings out new dimensions of the writing that I hadn't considered before. Thinking about how someone might perform my fic is making me a better writer, and thinking about how I might perform someone else's fic makes me a better reader, as well.

I had a total Eureka moment about podfic when I listened to a recording someone made of my own stories - I've always had a blanket permission statement but usually didn't listen to the recordings - it was a smutty story and the performer made me go weak at the knees from listening to my own fic, and I was just like WOW this is incredible. Since then I've managed to record only one story of my own so far, but I have plans for many many more, and not just my own stories!
