BlogTalkRadio offers a "live-talk podcasting" service, as it was dubbed by Gizmodo. The free hosting service, launched in July 2006, enables podcasters to broadcast live over the Internet, accepting live callers and instant messages while on the air. The service lets podcasters have up to five people, including the host, on a phone line at once, which all runs through the BlogTalkRadio site.

BlogTalkRadio has an advertising-based revenue model. The company inserts contextual advertising in the podcasts and shares revenues 50/50 with show hosts.

The New Jersey-based company is led by CEO Alan Levy, a telecom entrepreneur who in 1999 sold a start-up called Destia Communications to Viatel in a stock swap worth $600 million, and co-founder Bob Charish.
