2006 was Podcamp Pittsburgh’s first year of bringing the public together with bloggers, podcasters, social media and audio/video experts…and Wizzard Media’s Libsyn (Liberated Syndication) had already been in the business of bringing podcasts to the public for two years. Libsyn started here in Pittsburgh in November 2004 to provide storage space and a distribution service for audio podcasters. Four years later, under the leadership of Wizzard Media, Libsyn is now providing storage and distribution, as well as analytics, workflow management expertise and integrated advertising to both audio and video podcasters.

If you’re a podcaster seeking to deliver a sound or video segment to your audience with episodic regularity, Wizzard Media and Libsyn were designed for you. When you produce a podcast, you need to store it someplace. You can certainly set up your own webserver through a local hosting company…but why go through the hassle of organizing all that when all you want to do is produce your show? Wizzard Media is in the business of providing storage and distribution capacity for your show, whether it’s a 5-minute audio snippet or a 60 minute video production.

Wizzard Media is, however, now much more than just storage and distribution. Whereas the Libsyn Indie level will give you storage and distribution, the Libsyn Pro service gives you fine-grained control over your post-production and distribution, recording statistical data about your audience, providing an advertising campaign management system, and guaranteeing nearly 100% uptime for the servers your media is stored on. Once you’re producing high-quality output, it’s nice to know that you have a player in your corner like Wizzard Media to help smooth the wrinkles we all see in media distribution.

Go to Wizzard Media to see the types of audio and video podcasts using Wizzard’s services — your podcast also could be amongst those billions of shows being downloaded.
