Hey, um, I want to podfic and I've started the process (practicing with audacity etc), but I can't figure out how to get my podfic on the internet??? Please help, I am terrible with computers but I really want to contribute fandom
Hi, friend!
The thing you want to do, to get the podfic from your computer and onto the internet, is to host it somewhere. You want to upload it to a website that will keeps a copy for other people to access/download/stream. If all you care about is getting the file saved in a place where other people can download it, your hosting options are pretty open! I talk about a couple different hosting options in this post:

Unfortunately, I don't actually know much about the best way to incorporate streaming when it comes to posting my podfic - the ability to stream is sort of an accidental byproduct of my hosting site on parakaproductions, which is no longer able to host new podficcers. HOWEVER, if you reach out to @litrapod (contact her on twitter, at https://twitter.com/litrapod) she has a similar podfic hosting setup and IS able to add new podficcers to her site.
Once you’ve got your podfic hosted someplace, follow the steps in shmaylor's tutorial (https://archiveofourown.org/works/10656948) to post a podfic on the AO3.
I hope this helps!
