Podshow has announced that it will get into the business of helping businesses podcast.  It will be interesting to see how this develops as Podshow seems to be trying to do so many things.  Businesses do need help with this, both big and small businesses, so there is definitely a market for this.  I will be checking out the service and let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to play with it.

This is summary of the key points from the press release.

PodShow, Inc. today announced the debut of PodShowPRO, a service to enable businesses and professionals to make podcasts and other independently produced content.  PodShowPRO is also the Podcasting module within AOL’s new AIM® Pro service, which is available free of charge at www.aol.com/aimpro. PodShowPRO is built on the PodShow+ platform and provides business users with the ability to:

• create and publish their own podcasts;
• create personalized directories of content;
• provide their employees, customers and constituents with the ability to access and subscribe to podcasts via special “channels,” eliminating the complications faced by individuals attempting to subscribe to podcast feeds.

“We developed PodShowPRO in response to a growing demand from small businesses to take advantage of the revolution in independently produced content,” said Ron Bloom, Co-founder and CEO, PodShow, Inc.

Brian Curry, Vice President, Business Services, AOL said “By integrating PodShowPRO with AIM Pro, we are able to provide at-work users and small businesses with important new functionality and a fresh take on business news and information.”
