I’m still fairly new to the podfic world, so I’ve only listened to a dozen or so podfics, give or take.

Most of the ones I’ve listened to do not have any type of background music.

I’ve heard a couple that did have background music that were really quite lovely, but I’ve also heard a few where I found the background music to be too loud, abrasive, or distracting from the narrator’s voice…

When you’re listening to and/or making a podfic, do you typically prefer some music in the background, or do you prefer the quiet?

If I were to make a podfic, do you think enough people would prefer/enjoy/appreciate having two download/streaming options — one with and one without background music?

Or do so few people prefer it that I shouldn’t bother taking the time to incorporate it at all?
