DS Snippets Rec List with Bonus Material

Time and again I'm awed what a snippet writer can create in spite of a 300 word limit.

So when ds_snippets held a rec-a-thon, I took the opportunity to reread old favourites, discover new ones and record some podfics, when the author had already given the permission. Because akamine_chan is right, there should be more snippet-y podfics! :)

If you don't want to download every podfic individual, there's a zip-folder containing all availabe.

But on with the recs:
