Acclaimed Everest Podcaster to Broadcast from Tibet During Spring Climbing Season

The Colorado filmmaker who created "The Rest of Everest," an award-winning podcast about an Everest expedition, will return to Tibet this month to broadcast more climbing adventures.

Ft. Collins, CO (PRWEB) April 3, 2007 -- The Colorado filmmaker who created "The Rest of Everest," an award-winning podcast about an Everest expedition, will return to Tibet this month to broadcast more climbing adventures. In this groundbreaking effort, Jon Miller will be the first to travel to the Himalaya specifically to document expeditions through podcasting.
   
"It's not just the large commercial expeditions that have a story to tell," said Miller, who will depart for Tibet on April 1. "My goal is to give exposure to climbers without resources like expensive satellite modems. I'll be podcasting live with a variety of teams, including the Lungevity team, a two-man team raising funds for lung cancer research."
   
In addition to the Lungevity team, whose expedition is described at www.climbforcancer.blogspot.com, Miller is looking for other teams that would like to participate in the "The Rest of Everest: Tibet 2007" podcast.
   
Viewers can subscribe to the new podcast for free at http://tibet2007.therestofeverest.com. The site will consist of blogposts and audio dispatches that will be updated regularly throughout the spring climbing season. Miller and other climbers will post to the site. Contributors will include Ben Clark, the Colorado climber whose 2003 journey to the top of the world is documented in Miller's original video podcast "The Rest of Everest." Clark will be posting audio dispatches from his climb of Shisha Pangma in Tibet, while Miller will focus on documenting Everest climbing teams.
   
Miller's work is distinguished by his focus on the entire expedition experience, rather than on isolated climbing highlights. "The Rest of Everest" and "The Rest of Everest: Tibet 2007" are companion podcasts which both aim to provide comprehensive personal accounts of what goes into climbing the world's tallest peaks.
   
New episodes of Miller's original weekly video podcast, "The Rest of Everest," will continue to be posted at www.therestofeverest.com when he returns. "The Rest of Everest" podcast, which launched in April 2006, was recently designated the number one iTunes editors' pick and also was selected as a "Best of 2006" podcast. The podcast has been downloaded all over the world 205,000 times and has received positive reviews from critics and viewers alike. Within Apple Computer's iTunes Store, the video podcast has garnered dozens of 5-star reviews, and comments including "the best and most complete documentary on Everest" and "the jewel of web content creation for 2006." Miller's 2007 trip is financed in part by "The Rest of Everest" audience donations.

Miller owns TreeLine Productions, an award-winning production company based in Fort Collins, Colo. He has produced video work around the globe. His work includes the highly acclaimed feature-length film "Everest: The Other Side," which was released in spring of 2005. Before launching TreeLine Productions, Miller built and operated the Northern Colorado Bureau for CNN Headline News Local Edition.
