Favorite podfics?

[badbastion]

What's your favorite podfic to listen to while you're going to bed? I've been having trouble sleeping, and I have a HUGE collection of podfics downloaded, but I have trouble remembering which is which and recorded by whom.

So what's the most comforting story to hear, the most soothing voice? Do you have a fave podficcer, or a go-to story that you often turn to? I need to fill up a little sleepytime playlist, and I'm at a loss. I think Dictionary for a Dead Language is going on the list, but I have no idea what else.

Thanks!

(btw, you don't have to answer tonight, lol, I plan to compile my playlist over time :))

ETA: Who's that wonderful SPN author who records her own podfics? She also does a lot of baseball RPF, and I CANNOT remember her name for the life of me.

ETA2: I remembered, it's candle_beck, who slays me, and whom you should check out if you haven't listened to her already.

OKAY SO, my “sleepy time” playlist has…117 items in it right now, and I add more frequently. I’m sure this surprises no one. /o/

My preferences for podfics-to-listen-to-while-I-go-to-sleep waffle between cute and angsty. It really comforts me the most to re-listen to very long stories with many satisfying angsty and UST-y bits. And so, chemm80’s readings of Screw You, We’re From Texas and the QB Verse are superduperamazing and absolutely, absolutely, absolutely #1 for me. I have listened to those podfics infinity number of times. (I see that many of these comments have turned into little chemm80 lovefests and that is totally appropriate. <3 )

A few that fall on the cuter side:
The J2 Anne of Green Gables AU, written by chash and read by juice817 (1 hour 12 mins, Jared/Jensen)
Pillow Talk, read by teaatsix and written by eighth_horizon (19 mins, Sam/Dean)
The Art of Manly Hugging, read by teaatsix and written by sevenfists (14 mins, Sam/Dean)
Man's Best Friend, read by juice817 and written by belyste (1 hour 30 mins, Jared/Jensen)
Decaffeinated, read by exmanhater and written by mollyamory (30 mins, Jared/Jensen)
(Also, pretty much every podfic of astolat’s SPN stories. Fantamae in particular has done brilliant versions of a lot of her stuff!)

A few that fall on the angstier side:
In From The Cold, read by paraka, diurnal_lee, and kronos999 and written by ladyjanelly (5 hours, Jared/Jensen)
Of Dice and Jensen, read by diurnal_lee and written by epeeblade (7 hours 44 mins, Jared/Jensen)
Win-Win Situation, read by juice817 and written by mediaville (1 hour, Jared/Jensen)
That Padalecki Kid, read by tinypinkmouse and written by apostrophee (1 hour 20 mins, Jared/Jensen)
Impossible Things Before Breakfast, read by fishpatrol and written by tigbit (2 hours 20 mins, Jared/Jensen)
In the Small of My Heart, read by sylvia_locust and written by cherie_morte (1 hour 30 mins, Jared/Jensen)
