Podcast Awards Sponsor Update!
I am quite happy as we have secured the Platinum Sponsor and Two Gold Sponsors, so we are in good shape with only 2 Gold Sponsorships remaining and virtually all the Silver spots which tend to fill up near the start of the contest we have added a new sponsorship category this year which will help us cover the added cost of the new trophy design.

Welcome Media Buyer
It was my pleasure today to provide you with my book on Podcasting, as a walk away gift from the podcast media presentation you attended today, it is my goal to give you a lasting insight beyond the presentation into the world of Podcasting. The first chapter captures the essence of the media evolution and makes you realize the power of walk away content.
Over the next several years people are going to become more empowered by the tools they carry, they will not only be consumers of media but also producers of media, being able to report live from any event on the planet through technology once reserved to the mainstream media.
Newspapers are on the decline and the world continues to migrate on line, and we know that the companies you represent are ready to embrace this new media evolution and allow the creative minds at the companies I represent to help you bring a fresh media approach to our collective audiences.
Most of all enjoy the book and join the evolution in media and I look forward to working with all of you in this great adventure.
Aloha
Todd Cochrane
