Private Podcasts in the World Spotlight

PodSpider's free MyCast service allows private podcasts to be listed in the PodSpider Directory. Podcasters anywhere in the world can use this free marketing channel to reach more listeners.

Podcasting-Radio On Demand

Podcasts are downloadable radio broadcasts that are playable on any MP3 player. Anyone can create podcasts and make them available to listeners worldwide via the internet. More than just music and information, podcasting makes it possible to focus on themes that do not receive traditional radio attention. In the USA, many recognized broadcasters like National Public Radio now also offer podcasts. Podcasts from NASA on the last Discovery mission and from USsoccer.com are recent examples. Market researchers like The Diffusion Group have forecasted that the number of podcast listeners will grow significantly in the next years. The largest increase in the number of podcasts is currently driven by private users, who have created a vibrant, new world of entertainment and information.
