PodShow launches UK branch and talent quest September 14th, 2006 by Steven Lewis

PodShow has announced it has partnered with the giant UK-based telco BT to form BT Podshow. A media release from PodShow announced that the search was on for "aspiring film producers, musicians, presenters and DJ’s from across the UK." The UK's Media Guardian reports, "Good ideas may receive funding to help meet production costs, and popular shows will get a share of advertising revenues generated once the service is launched." The story goes on to quote PodShow co-founder Ron Bloom boldly declaring, "The website is dead." He is not quoted explaining how podcasts would be delivered if that were the case. PodShow and BT's announcement has been picked up in the blogosphere, including in Steve Rubel's widely read and influential Micro Persuasion. The site will go live later this year.
