Gig Harbor, WA (PRWEB) June 20, 2006 -- The iLifeZone launched its first episode today. It's available free of charge via the Apple iTunes Store at: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=160070588&s=143441&i=6658780

The iLifeZone is a radio magazine-style podcast featuring three popular hosts and a variety of well-known guests. Each show is approximately 30 minutes in length. The show is co-produced by Bourne Media Group in Seattle and PixelCorps in San Francisco.

The iLifeZone podcast is available three times per month on the first tenth and twentieth day of the month via RSS, iTunes and the Web. Archives of all previous shows are always available. Each show is available only as an enhanced iTunes podcast with supporting graphics and links. Listeners who use an Apple iPod Photo, Apple iPod Video or who use Apple’s free iTunes software to enjoy the show will see pictures, sponsor logos and links in addition to the audio available via traditional MP3.

The show format is light, fast-paced and entertaining. The show takes a how-to and information-rich approach that minimizes punditry and opinion and maximizes news, training and information. The hosts make a point of not taking themselves too seriously and listeners leave each show with practical knowledge.

The iLifeZone is sponsoring a blog design contest with more than $300 worth of prizes as part of its launch festivities.
