Podcast network and hosting service Podango is beefing up its service with the purchase of podcast publishing software from GigaVox Media. The content-management system, called GigaVox Audio Lite, allows podcasters to automagically manage the different parts that make up an audio or video podcast, including ads, intros, promotions, and other program material.I had a discussion today with Lee, which can be heard onPodango, which is based in Bountiful, Utah, hosts 1,300 podcasters across 250 different stations, including Mommycast, Duct Tape Marketing, and the Apple Phone Show (which Podango produces itself). Later this week, it will launch Girls Gone Geek, which CEO Lee Gibbons describes as a “cross between the View and Motorcycle Maintenance.” Something tells me it’s going to do okay. All told, says Gibbons, Podango-hosted shows are downloaded two million times per month, which is up from a mere 20,000 downloads six months ago. He is shooting for 10 million downloads a month by next March. And you thought podcasts were dead.
today's podcast (episode 137), that touched on not only a lot of what new things are offered to Podango producers through this acquisition, but what he sees in the world of audio podcasting in the near future.I know a lot of our audience is very interested in learning what's new in the world of video production and monetization, and it's important to note that what Podango can do for audio podcasters can also be offered to video podcasters to a large extent, which is why 137 is a very important episode for those types of folks.
