Podcasting Pioneer Launches Podcast Production Services Firm

Carl Franklin has launched Pwop Productions, a podcast production services company. Podcasting is the new technology by which consumers subscribe to digital audio content over the Internet.

(PRWEB) February 18, 2005 -- Carl Franklin, a pioneer in the field of podcasting (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/podcasting) has launched Pwop Productions (www.pwop.com) , a podcast production services company.

Podcasting is the new technology by which consumers subscribe to digital audio content over the Internet. Content is automatically downloaded to the consumer's computer and onto an iPod or other portable audio device for later listening.

Podcasting was developed by ex-MTV V-Jay Adam Curry (www.ipodder.org) as means of automatically distributing his talk show, The Daily Source Code (dailysourcecode.com/) to his fans, and in the fall of 2004 began to spread like wildfire throughout the blogging community.

Although the technology is primarily used by hobbyist broadcasters who produce home-grown radio shows, Franklin sees podcasting as a medium with real business value.

"Podcasting was born out of the blogging community, so naturally the podcasts of the day sound like audio weblogs. But there are a few companies, public radio stations, and academic institutions who are embracing podcasting as a way to keep in touch with their customers and partners in a more personal way", Franklin said.

Pwop Productions provides podcasting services such as local and remote recording, audio editing and production, custom royalty-free music, transcription, RSS feeds, web development and hosting, and graphic design.

One of Pwop Productions' newest customers is Microsoft's MSDN Academic Alliance (msdn.microsoft.com/academic). The MSDN Academic Alliance will be providing a monthly podcast to schools and colleges to utilize in their academic programs.
