PODCAST DIRECTORIES PodShow manages indiePodder.org (formerly iPodder.org), a podcast directory that many podcast aggregators use to help people find and subscribe to podcasts. PodShow also owns Podcast Alley , a centralized directory of podcasts. PODSAFE MUSIC PodShow advocates and facilitates the production of Podsafe music (music which can be used in podcasts without significant licensing difficulties) by both independent and signed musicians, and the use and promotion of the same music by podcasters. To this end, it operates a large repository called Podsafe Music Network , or PMN, which hosts any music which meets its legal terms' definition of "podsafe", and distributes the music to podcasters who agree to properly attribute the work and report the use. The music is also made available in streaming form to casual listeners. The site operates at no cost to listeners, artists, or podcasters. PODCAST HOSTING Another arm that PodShow intends to develop is the PodShow Delivery Network, which will provide unlimited free hosting for podcasts. Details are not final yet, but the company's initial plan involves giving podcasters free hosting if they're willing to have advertising inserted before their podcasts. Ad-free hosting for a fee would also be available. EXTERNAL LINKS
