Podcast Pickle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Podcast Pickle is both a podcast/vidcast directory and community which lists over 11,000 casts as of November 2006. Podcast Pickle aims to set itself apart from other directories through the building of a true community by using in-depth profiles, blogs, favorites subscriptions, and community forums with the focus not only on the podcasts/vidcast, but on the casters and promotion of members as well. This community helps get listeners involved in podcasting as well as podcasters/vidcasters. Launched on March 27, 2005, by Gary Leland, Podcast Pickle was the world's first podcast/vidcast community. This podcast will tickle your pickle!
