[Podfic] Is this thing on?

Summary:

“They need to return to a conference based system,” Svetlana said, slamming her hand against the table. “It was fucking fine the way it was, why are we handing out participation trophies to shitty divisions?”

Ilya raised his eyebrows from where he hovered in the kitchen, cracking open another Red Bull.

“This is fun,” he said, deadpanned. “You guys should start a podcast or something. I would not listen, you are both terribly boring.”

Or, after an injury on the ice forces Shane into an early retirement, he and Svetlana start a podcast.

Notes:

Cheshire: Ahhhhh it's done! I tried a new editing technique, only a couple days before the Voiceteam deadline and it made my Audacity crash about 5 times. Recorded for the Voiceteam 2026 round 3 challenge: Lay Your Burdens Down. I had been sitting on permission for this fic the entirety of VT waiting for the perfect opportunity, so this was the perfect challenge to finally unleash it!

Thank you so much to the lovely podficcers who lent their voices for this project, I'm so obsessed with how it turned out and I hope you are too! Thank you to ARustySpork for giving me permission to podfic this. I truly had a vision, as soon as I read this I knew it needed to be a multivoice podfic, and the author was so kind and enthusiastic about the idea!

Finally, thank you to the random person who rec'd this fic on Threads, you're the real reason we ended up here.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
