The Lifestyle PodNetwork (LPN) began in 2007 with a show called ''Podcasters' Emporium'', a podcast specifically designed to help people create better sounding podcasts. This show, hosted by Dave Gray and James Williams, attracted a large audience of podcasters almost immediately. ''Podcasters’ Emporium'' addressed a growing problem faced by citizen media; People enjoy creating podcasts, but most do not have the technical and marketing knowledge required to attract listeners. Large media companies constantly bombard the podcast market, predominately the Apple iTunes Store, with pre-recorded or time-shifted radio and TV content. Podcasters who create free content can not compete with the huge followings generated by commercially based content producers and therefore quickly become lost in the background noise in the podcast directories. Podcasters' Emporium was created to help solve this problem. ==History== Due to the amount of interest generated by the podcast, the Lifestyle PodNetwork followed, launching in June 2008 with five shows and three hosts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = James Williams )〕 The Lifestyle PodNetwork continues to attract new and existing pocasters with its philosophy of “giving everyone a voice,” making it “Australia’s fastest growing podcast network.” Many people find a “network of podcasters” to be appealing because they can draw on the experience of other podcasters in order to get their content online and more easily push it out to their listeners. The Lifestyle PodNetwork claims to provide a "one-click" solution for neophyte podcasters, or offers a completely hands-off approach for veteran podcasters who are merely wish to leverage the power of the network. The Lifestyle PodNetwork currently has over 50 different shows,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = James Williams )〕 with a total of over 1 million downloads since launching the network. James Williams states that the network can remain self-sufficient by relying on website advertising space and from voluntary listener subscriptions and support. In 2009, Duncan Riley of the Australian tech website The Inquisitr declared The Lifestyle PodNetwork to be "Australia’s Next Big Podcasting Network."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Duncan Riley )〕 In December 2010, The Lifestyle PodNetwork became a featured provider on the Australian Apple iTunes Store.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = James Williams )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Lifestyle PodNetwork」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
