Iowa (song): Podfic: The Hills of Iowa

[luzula]

First podfic on the comm! \o/ There's a love triangle of sorts in the story, but actually I think the triangle in this one is more the tension between the narrator, conventional life, and her dreams.

Title: The Hills of Iowa
Author and reader: luzula
Fandom: Dar Williams' song "Iowa"
Pairing: Narrator/OFC (femslash)
Rating: PG
Length: 28 m 11 s
Author's summary: My dreams didn't come true back in high school, and I sure didn't expect they would when I was middle-aged. It isn't the sort of thing that happens.
Notes: You can definitely listen to this without knowing the song, but here it is on Youtube if you want to hear it (and there are bits of it in the podfic, too). Thanks to cantarina for beta-listening!

Oh, yay -- I love this story (and this song) and can't wait to listen to the podfic. What an awesome idea.

[luzula]

Oh, have you read the story before? Cool! I think of it as one of my least-read stories--it's not exactly a large fandom. I'm so glad you like it, and I hope you enjoy the podfic.

Yay! I'm looking forward to revisiting this story.

[luzula]

I hope you enjoy the recording! It felt as if it was made for reading aloud, actually, because of the colloquial first-person POV. Those always work really well for me to podfic.

[mergatrude]

I did! I listened to it the other night and really enjoyed it. Thank you!

[luzula]

Oh, thanks for coming back to tell me so! \o/

Oh, this was so lovely, and your voice worked so well for it. I have a tricky time reading first person POV stories, but listening was a fantastic experience.

[luzula]

Oh, thank you! And that's funny, because I usually have an easier time with first-person POV. There's no narrator to get in-between you and the protagonist, so it feels more immediate for me somehow.

Yay podfic, thank you!

[luzula]

I hope you enjoy it! : )

[feroxargentea]
