The summer of 2006 is heating up. Expect a boatload of Podcasting services and tools to launch between now and the Portable Media and Podcast Expo at the end of September. Some recent developments.

Already Here
Recently launched podcast directory that uses a Digg style rating system to highlight popular podcasts. Inline preview of audio and video posts, commenting and subscription tools are integrated into the service.

Just moved into open beta. Aims to be the place to listen to, discover and share podcasts.


"The fun new voice in personal media broadcasting." Look and feel a lot like Odeo. A place for creation and distribution of podcasts. Wild Voice Studio is a free, desktop recording program that accompanies the service.

Coming Soon

Todd Cochrane's forthcoming service is not a directory. Blubrry will be more of a social community for podcasters who are interested in working together to build an audience. Hosting for those who need it and revenue generating opportunities for all via a non-exclusive distribution agreement. This is one to watch.





Adam Curry and Co. promise to liquefy the podcast competition with their soon to arrive super directory. Will podcasting ever be the same again?
