Well it begins, we wish we had a couple more gold sponsors but I have always said it will be what it will be. This is where podcasting companies get a chance to pay back to the podcasting community.

I want to take a moment and give a big thank you to the folks over at Wizzard.TV for coming on board to be our Platinum Sponsors this year. Their participation is greatly appreciated.

Thus far we have raised $4000.00 in cash and have about $1600.00 in prizes and trophy sponsors.

These other fine sponsors have made it possible for us to do this again this year. This is a non profit event for us as all money and prizes go back to the podcasters

• Gold Sponsor RawVoice and Blubrry.com
• Awards Ceremony Host Podcast and New Media Expo
• Prize and Trophy Sponsor LapWorks
• Prize Sponsor Plan Nine Print

This event has grown and Podcaster query me all year on this event so we are glad to finally be under way.

We will announce in a few days who the 2007 Platinum Sponsor is for the People’s Choice Podcast Awards. We are now looking to fill the 4 Gold Sponsorship spots. Details at the PodcastAwards.com website. Or email me at podcastawards@gmail.com

The Podcast Awards Website is seeing unique page hits of 12,000 per hour. At this point we are clearly exceeding anything we saw last year. [www.podcastawards.com]
