RawVoice Introduces a Podcast Plugin for WordPress

Friday, August 8th, 2008

RawVoice is proud to announce our latest podcasting tool it’s called the Blubrry PowerPress Podcast Plugin for WordPress.

We built the PowerPress plugin to support our Premium Publishing Service at Blubrry. It’s a wordpress podcast plugin for our customers, and those using our, or other third party stats service.

Most of the members on Blubrry.com  & TechPodcasts.com host their web sites using WordPress. With MovableType and other Blogging applications have rich podcasting plugins already we focused on the WP community.

With the launch of our latest services (Podcast Publishing Premium and Podcast Publishing Premium with Hosting), we found it necessary to offer a podcast plugin that can support episodes posted from our system.

The task was really simple: develop a WordPress podcasting plugin that stores podcast episodes the way WordPress expects them! Now our Publishing Customers can publish their episodes through our system which cross posts their podcast episodes to their WordPress blog and have fully compliant validated RSS feeds with optimized iTunes / Zune Market place support.

Being we have our own Free and Premium Podcast Statistic Service we did not put in a statistics module in the plugin. After all we spent many months developing our own statistic service that thousands or podcasters are using, along with a number of commercial media networks.

This new Podcast Plugin is very powerful. In that it will give a new or existing podcaster everything they will need to add podcasting support to their website. We look forward to everyones feedback and like other products we have it will mature over time.

New PodcasterNews.com Website Released Today!

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

RawVoice is proud to announce the new site design for PodcasterNews.com. PCN was RawVoice’s very first site that we launched in 2005 and has had significant success in being a primary point of presence for a number of podcasts that are all short format content.

With this update a whole new site design has been implemented including a new publishing and site management system which will allow our podcasters to publish Video along with Audio. We also are now featuring new content on the front page in a unique way that allows all podcasters to get equal exposure to listeners.

The new design really brings out the fact that the content being created on the network is truly a team effort and that ever content creators content is treated as a integral part of the overall network.

With this roll out we have introduced our new stream lined Podcast Publishing system which allows podcasters the ability to essentially have a full blown multi-media publishing system as media creators can now Blog, Publish Audio or Video all within a very streamlined interface that we feel is quite evolutionary

The RawVoice generator is the first comprehensive media publishing platform that has integrated podcast media publishing and a blogging component that is commercially available to any third party company looking for their own platform.

Be sure to visit PodcasterNews.com and check out the power of the new website in consuming content and if you want a test drive of the new publishing system contact the team here at RawVoice.

Post PodCamp AZ Thoughts – PodCamp Arizona is Great Place to Podcasters

Monday, November 5th, 2007

PodCamp AZ (Arizona) was a huge success. Michelle and Brent Spore planned, what I would call, the perfect un-conference. The venue was organized well, the sessions were ordered in a way that allowed podcasters at different experience levels to gain knowledge during every part of the day. I obtained a lot of knowledge from the event and I am grateful that I was able to attend.

I almost filled my notebook with ideas, suggestions and thoughts during the PodCamp. It is obvious to me that most of the focus of the sessions were geared to how to get started and how to monetize your podcast. RawVoice has been addressing these issues since the beginning and the entire PodCamp experience has reinforced my view that what we doing at RawVoice is what we should be doing.

The PodCamp provides a venue that is exclusively for podcasters. Even though RawVoice was a sponsor, we weren’t sitting there trying to spoon feed our message. Instead, knowledge was shared and friendships were made. The whole experience makes me think that Todd should move the Podcast Awards to one of the PodCamps scheduled for 2007. This type of atmosphere is definitely where the recognition of the great work everyone does should be recognized.

Below are some photos from PodCamp AZ.
