Mad_Lori

Author's summary: 'The blog of Eugenia Watson' by madlori read aloud. I like to think of this not so much as a blog but as the first draft of my inevitably best-selling memoirs. My Life In an Unconventional Family. How unconventional? Well, I live with my divorced parents and my dad's husband. How's that for starters? Trust me, it gets weirder. My name is Eugenia Watson, but you can call me Genie. I'm sixteen. This is my life.
Reccer's comments: The fic this is based on, The Blog of Eugenia Watson by Mad_Lori, was already recced here, but this podfic deserves a rec all on its own, as I feel it's one of the classic podfics of the fandom.
What I love so much about this podfic is that lunchee's voice matches the character of Eugenia so well. It takes no effort whatsoever to hear the 16-year-old narrator in the accent and intonation. It's not like listening to someone read a story. It's like hearing Eugenia speaking of her first-hand experiences as the youngest member of this unorthodox family.
Even if you've already read the fic, hearing it brought to life like this makes all of the stories and emotions so much more vivid. You can hear her anguish over Sherlock being injured; her matter-of-fact acceptance of her mother bringing 'corpse stench' into the flat, tempered by the obligatory teenage whinging; her starry-eyed indulgence of her father and step-father cuddling; and her occasional mild disgust when glimpsing them doing anything more.
Definitely download this for your next trip, and enjoy the story without eye fatigue or motion sickness. ;)
(P.S. The underage sexuality tag is for a mention only, nothing explicit, which is why I haven't included it as a warning.)
