Do you LOVE listening to podfic? Can you provide help and guidance to a newbie? Do you want to squee and tell people that their podfics are great? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you should be a beta listener and/or cheerleader.

Cheerleaders

• Your main mission is: to offer encouragement for a podficcer to complete their fanwork.
• Ways to do this include: delivering liberal doses of encouragement, offering advice, providing gentle reminders of deadlines, and celebrating your podficcer's accomplishments.
• You will be promoted as a resource to people who need a little extra encouragement.

Betas

• Your main mission is: to review a fanwork and offer suggestions for improvement.
• Ways to do this include: listening to podfic drafts or previewing art drafts and providing reviews/comments.
• You will be promoted as a resource to podficcers who need help with the editing and revision process.
