The latest issue of BLOGGER AND PODCASTER MAGAZINE has been published. The online version of the magazine is very slick, appearing as a “flipper” format which allows the viewer to flip through the pages of the magazine in a virtual layout of the print edition. The lead story in the magazine’s “News Feed” section (on page 6) is about NEW MEDIA CREATIVE. We also have a full page ad appearing in the magazine (on page 18). Our ad is accompanied by an audio promo we recently produced. We also produced an audio promo to accompany the full page ad for the APHEX 230 MASTER VOICE CHANNEL (on page 14 of the magazine). That promo includes an endorsement from our own voice-over and production guru Joe Klein. The audio promos launch automatically when the reader lands on the page where the ad appears, which, as audio producers, we have to admit is pretty cool.
As we did for the last issue, we produced certain segments of the audio podcast version of the publication. Joe voiced the “News Feed” and “Editor’s Note” segments and worked on additional production for the remaining podcast segments. We also produced new branding media elements, which can be heard as audio signatures at the opening and closing of all the podcast segments of the new issue. Bill Fortune’s splendid pipes really stand out on the awesome new sigs for the magazine podcasts.
In this issue of the magazine, its publisher, LARSTAN PUBLICATIONS, announced the launching of an ambitious new venture, the BLOGGER AND PODCASTER MEDIA NETWORK. The new network combines the resources of Blogger and Podcaster along with established podcast directory PODCAST PICKLE, U.K. social blog network FUEL MY BLOG, and blog discovery engine SOCIAL RANK to form a powerful new network that will offer significant reach, income and other valuable benefits and monetary rewards to its blogger and podcaster members. You can read all about it on page 30 of the current issue. We’re working with the article’s author, company CEO LARRY GENKIN, on the podcast version of this major story, which should be posted online next week.
Each individual column and article in the magazine has an embedded flash audio player at the top of the page that will load and play and podcast version of the story. There is also a flash player with a pre-loaded playlist of all the current issue’s podcast segments. That player is on the publication’s home page here. From the home page you can also open up the online flipper version of the current issue and search for and access past issues from the magazine’s archives.
NEW MEDIA CREATIVE has written and produced a two-minute audio promo for APHEX SYSTEMS LTD. The ad is for the APHEX 230 MASTER VOICE CHANNEL, which is truly the finest professional microphone preamp and voice processor available.
It sounds like a shameless plug, but we were so impressed with the 230 when we first tested it that we bought two of the units, and we use them to record all of our company’s voice tracks. So, producing this spot was truly a "labor of love." We are very proud to have been chosen by company president Marvin Caesar to create a commercial that literally demonstrates the unique capabilities, functions and features of this "magic voice box!" Click on the player below, listen to the ad (voiced by Joe) and hear for yourself how the Aphex 230 can enhance any voice to sound "bigger than life."

We’ve created a cool 60 second audio commercial for New Media Creative. This spot will be in the upcoming September/October 2008 online issue of Blogger and Podcaster Magazine along with the company’s full page ad and will be placed in other new media outlets in the months to come. The promo is voiced by Joe and Bill and we think it does a nice job introducing the company. Check it out!

Recently we were asked by the folks over at BLOGGER AND PODCASTER MAGAZINE to produce podcast segments of four columns in the July/August 2008 issue of the magazine. Joe voiced the podcasts and you can listen to them on the podcast player embedded in the magazine’s home page here. The magazine had suspended publication for several months earlier this year, but it’s back online and in print. The online version of Blogger and Podcaster is quite cool, as it incorporates an exclusive proprietary reader that lets you "flip" through the pages of the virtual publication. The next issue of the magazine will be available soon, and a subscription to the online edition and podcasts is free.
