It's (Still) a Trap: This is the Pod that Never Ends

Summary:

Voiceteam 2025 presents their second attempt at the "It's a Trap!" challenge--by combining it with 19 other challenges, but the important thing was to get contributions from at least 90% of this round's Voiceteam players not on points break. 123 contributors later, we were victorious!! Sorry (but not that sorry) for the ear worm. Enjoy the chaos!

Reviewers + their messages:

blackglass: The talent here is endless!! As is the song...

poemreads : A stunning embodiment of the voiceteam spirit.

wanderingjedihistorian: This idea is honestly hilarious and glorious

aliteralgarbageheap : It really doesn't end! You go guys!

Chantress: A work of breathtaking audacity and scope! I had to get involved even though I don't need the points <3

Avanie: This has been amazing to watch come together, like a bee hive creating some delicious af honey in a day or something.

LenaLawlipop: Would this be a VoiceTeam project if it wasn't insane....ly good? I didn't think so! This is awesome, and super catchy :3

PresidentHades: It's crazy. I love it. I'm having so much fun. And isn't that what the Voiceteam experience is all about?

Mistchievous: You're all absolutely amazing! The creativity and hilarity brings everyone together in the best possible way.

be_brave13: Genuinely I think this is what Voiceteam is all about!! Huge, crazy and so fun while getting the maximum amount of points possible :)

knuckledusters: What an incredible, hilarious, beautiful, and ambitious project! 👏👏👏

Annapods: Marvelous, delightful, a work of art.

sunlightsymphony: This project exemplifies so many things that I treasure about Voiceteam - teams coming together to concoct an ambitious and chaotic creation, not for love of competition, but for love of the game!

BubblesKat: I'm glad that you all are having a blast with this absurd idea! So close to done!

DevilWithABirdDress: The Voiceteam community has done it again! A stunning rendition of a song so catchy you'll be humming it for days! Maybe weeks! No matter what you try to do! It's neverending fun fun fun!

PopcornFairy28: I think this project is an awesome example of how close (and incredibly chaotic!) our podfic community can be! It’s so fun to be here!

J0305: I love collaborating with other people, and Voiceteam gives me so many opportunities to do so. I met plenty of super nice people, discovered new fandoms, created multivoices, and overall had so much fun! Definitely my best experience in a long time! 🐝🌸

kitsunerei88: This is the epitome of fandom creativity, passion, and weird wrapped in a single project.

iggygiraffe: My favourite thing about VoiceTeam is that it brings people together across fandoms to do silly things together for the fun of it and a shared love of all things fannish and podficcing. This is a brilliant example of that wonderful chaos!

Foundbyjohndoe: Voiceteam teaches you only the best of life lessons!

pxssnelke: absolutely fascinating project as usual. the power of a small group of people snowballing into a large group of people should never be underestimated.

littlefingies: I perceived this with my ear holes

MeggieJolly: It will make you participate in projects (and fandoms) you couldn’t have even imagined.

N0Connections: “We come together, here and now, for voiceteam!” 🎵

esbielle: This is nuts! But not Wolong Nuts, do you have any idea how much I had to wait to get these? They're the talk of the town!

wonderlandian.geek: do it for klb!

hullomoon: Nothing is stronger than a Voiceteam bit

"

JocundaSykes:
This pod goes on and on,
From dusk until the dawn.
You’ve got the might -
Just sing it right,
And own that endless song 😁

"

peasina: This many podficcers in one place? It might be too powerful to contain!!

chokedbyanangel: Goodness me this is WONDERFUL! working together to create endless delights 🙌🏼🧡👏🏽

pinklotus9: I love this incredible, whimsical, welcoming group so dang much!! From the bottom of my heart, I love and appreciate you all!❤️🥰

connect_the_stars: They said it couldn't be done and quite frankly I still don't believe in my heart that it will be, but one lesson that I hope to learn today is to NEVER BET AGAINST VOICETEAM!

klb: This is the most significant thing any of us have ever done or will ever do.

Notes:

blackglass' producer notes: Incredible job, team!! Thanks to horchata for seeding the idea and helping to organize this all, the dream team of editors for turning this around so quickly, everyone who contributed and especially to klb for her incredible powers of persuasion.
