The Photocast Network Press Release

MANCHESTER, United Kingdom/EWORLDWIRE/Aug. 21, 2006—- An organization of volunteers, the Photocast Network is a new concept in podcasting designed to assemble the top photography-based podcasts available. With goals of initially growing listenership among all the member shows and providing a central resource where listeners can find other shows of their interest, the network forms a strong collective voice that can speak to traditional media, industry and advertisers alike. The Photocast Network will help podcast listeners that are interested in photography to find other podcasting resources related to their hobby by visiting the Photocast Network Web site at www.photocastnetwork.com. Along with working together to promote photography related resources, Photocast Network members will collaborate and provide projects and competitions to the photographer community.

As podcasting enters a new phase with growing visibility to the general public, the Photocast Network is working to help listeners, industry, media and advertisers get in touch with the photography and podcasting worlds.
