New Podcasting Organization Alliance Formed

The UPAAC, or the Ultimate Podcast Alliance And Consortium, has been formed to provide education, resources, demographic studies, and networking opportunities for podcasters everywhere. This is good news for amateur and professional podcasters, who will receive benefits to help them begin and operate their podcasts.

UPAAC, the brain child of WebRadioUSA president Glenn Garnes, will provide it`s members with access to a special membership directory of vendors, and consultants who offer special rates and programs to UPAAC members. Access to a consortium of vendors who can offer products and services for sale on podcasting sites in exchange for commissions, demographic data relevant to the podcasting community, special webinars, seminars and teleconferences on the `how to` of podcasting will also be available.

`We are delighted to give back to the podcasting community by creating this organization, said Garnes. `We hope that our efforts will be looked at as a significant contribution to the long term growth and viability of podcasting,` Garnes added. The organization will also support the study of more efficient ways to reduce bandwidth usage and costs, among other things.
