British Telecom has cooked up their own Union Jack flavored version of PodShow Plus over at BT PodShow. PodShow recently announced the launch of the new site.

Evidently, the U.K. podcast market has been floundering and some feel that this move will save the day.

Neville Hobson says, "This could well be the tipping point for podcasting in the UK in accelerating a potential market that’s currently dominated by stand-up comedy types of podcasts, geek shows and other niche production."

Neil Dixon says, "...It will be a very significant boost for podcasts in the UK who want to reach beyond the current podcaster/blogger/geek audience..."

As you can see from the Google Trends graph below, PodShow's site launch has had a massive effect on the interest in podcasting. Oh wait, that was actually the launch of podcasting in iTunes. No matter, everyone says that PodShow has increased the interest in podcasting so it must be true.
