Client BlogTalkRadio has been selected as one of the 100 top private companies in the digital entertainment space for Always On’s upcoming On Hollywood event.
Here’s the release.
And here’s the news in the BlogTalkRadio blog.
CNET’s Rafe Needleman has a review of BlogTalkRadio up on the Alpha Blog. Here’s a snippet:
… BlogTalkRadio is clever in its implementation: All audio input is via the telephone. Podcasters get a private dial-in number to the BlogTalkRadio service, from where they are streamed out to the Net (and also archived for later replay). Callers get their own number too, and BlogTalkRadio provides a Web-based console that the podcaster uses to control the show.
Rafe concludes with the ultimate compliment:
That’s a pretty cool thing.
And I’m sure if you try BlogTalkRadio, you’ll agree.

Comment from the BlogTalkRadio blog here.
Whatever your flavor, whatever your topic, you can make a name for yourself by hosting a live blogshow here at BlogTalkRadio.com. In fact, according to CNET’s Rafe Needleman, BTR may be just the way for the next Howard Stern to emerge.
And don’t forget to Digg it.
BlogTalkRadio (aka, what I’ve been working on that’s kept me busy) is up, live and on the air.
TechCrunch has a nice write up to kick things off.
Podcasts are fun to listen to, but they’d be even cooler if you could listen live and IM your feedback to the host in real time. The soon to launch service BlogTalkRadio will make that possible.
BlogTalkRadio is targeting bloggers who want to hold a live telephone conversation with up to 5 people on a phone line at once. Anyone can listen live to the call on the phone or through Windows Media Player, like a live web radio show. Listeners can also download an archived copy of the conversation later. Revenue from contextual advertising is split 50/50 with show hosts
There’s also a thread on Digg. Founder Alan Levy is blogging here.
BlogTalkRadio is an exciting idea and I’m sure many of you will be considering playing with it and setting up your own shows. Trust me, it’s easy and I’ll be doing one of my own pretty soon.
PS: An extra added bonus, I have Shel Israel and Robert Scoble to thank for this client since Alan Levy got religion from reading Naked Conversations.
Update: Alan blogs about the launch.
Within a few hours of the Techcrunch piece, blogshows were set up in Germany, France, and the Mauritian Islands. We also have our first political candidate, the Democratic candidate of Hawaii scheduled on August 21. Personally, I think BTR will be a teriffic platform for political candidates.
Update II: Gizmodo has more:
One of the weaknesses of podcasts has now been eliminated with BlogTalkRadio, a hosting service that lets podcasters broadcast live over the Interwebs, accepting live callers or instant messages while on the air.
