Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) March 7, 2006

Internet podcasters Charley Warady and Len Peralta announced today the launch of a new network for high quality podcast content. In an effort to aggregate content that is both office-friendly and attractive to mainstream audiences, The Trypod Network (http://www.trypodnetwork.com) will host some of the most popular and widely subscribed podcasts to date. With the sheer volume of independent podcasts currently broadcast over the Internet, founders Warady and Peralta have identified a real need to highlight for listeners the most entertaining, respectable and professional content.

“Our goal in launching Trypod Network,” says Warady, “is to bring a level of sophistication and talent to podcasting that gets lost among the chaos of current networks. Trypod is about quality, not quantity. Warady says, “We like to consider ourselves the NPR of podcasting. We’ll select content and programming we believe in and feel good about introducing to new audiences.”

In a conversation on episode number 100 of Peralta’s show Jawbone Radio (http://www.jawboneradio.com) Warady explained the difference between Trypod and other emerging podcast networks: “Trypod will focus exclusively on the highest quality podcasts with a proven listener base,” Warady said. “This strategy will prove beneficial to both audiences and potential sponsors.”

While the network will thrive with the help of sponsors Trypod is committed to keeping promotional messages unobtrusive and completely in the creative control of the podcaster. “We want Trypod to be the furthest thing from traditional radio as possible,” Warady says. “However, to keep podcasters producing quality content, they should be fairly compensated. That's Trypod Network's goal.”

Trypod Network has already signed on some of the best podcasts available, ranging from very popular Hometown Tales (http://www.hometowntales.com) which deals in urban legends, to ExtraLife Radio (http://myextralife.com) a panel discussion about “general geeky nerdiness,” to Manic Mommies (http://www.manicmommies.com) about two working mommies trying to juggle their jobs and families. The network's shows are for an adult audience, but can be played in the home, office, or car without the worry of offensive language or content. This commitment to quality also allows Trypod listeners the advantage of “listening on the fly,” Peralta says.

In addition to the podcasts already signed with the network, Trypod has secured an exclusive partnership with Podcast Pickle (http://www.podcastpickle.com) a wildly popular podcast portal/community. Trypod is currently engaged in conversations with many other popular podcasters that share the vision Warady initiated, and who are eager to jump on board.

With an estimated 8 million people listening to podcasts, and a conservative estimate of 60 million podcast listeners by the year 2010, the need for a home of the best podcasts is obvious. With nearly 20 years of experience in the entertainment field, Warady and his staff are qualified arbiters of this kind of endeavor. “I’m confident that Trypod Network will not only be a one-stop shop for listeners, but will quickly become a community where everyone, podcasters, sponsors and the audience, wins,” Warady says.

Trypod Network will be the primary podcast address for podcast listeners seeking the Internet's best podcasts. Trypod Network will allow the commercially undiscovered podcasters to maximize full potential from their podcasts. Trypod Network will bring to the advertisers the most profitable possible market in the podcast industry. To always achieve the premier brand name podcast network, Trypod Network will always maintain maximum selectivity and consider each action whether it is best for all three dimensions of Trypod Network.
