Before signing up, please take a moment to review the Rules, FAQ, and Content Moderation Policy

There are 2 kinds of sign-ups.

For those looking to be matched up into a partnership or group, go to our Match Maker Signups Airtable form.

If you would like to see who else has signed up to be matched into a group, please follow this link. Note that all email addresses and "MOD EYES ONLY" comments will be kept private. Participants may also choose to make their whole signup private if they prefer!

For those who already have a complete group, go to our Group Signups Airtable form.

Thinking about participating, but would prefer not to commit to the check-in schedule or length requirements? Consider putting together a Party Favor project.

If you're on the fence and have questions, or want to try to scout a group before signing up, we have a section of our Discord open just for that. Click this invite link to join!

If you have questions for the mods that you prefer to ask privately, you can always message us directly in the Discord server, or email us at pod.together@gmail.com

All sign-ups close Saturday, June 13th.

Welcome to pod_together, a challenge where writers and podficcers create together—the writer creating text specifically intended for audio, and the podficcer creating the audio.

You can sign-up as a solo writer or podficcer and be matched into a partnership or group, or you can sign-up as an established partnership or group.
