SAN FRANCISCO, CA and LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/24/06 -- PodShow, Inc., the
world's premier network in independently produced media, announced today
the debut of its first in-house production... "Shadow Falls," produced in
Hollywood, by PodShowLA. This breakthrough episodic podcast features top
voice talent from Hollywood and the highest production quality studio and
effects production. The show's innovative format is a fully immersive and
addictive dramatic mystery series, incorporating audio podcasts, short-form
video, character diaries and media contributions from the show's audience.
"Shadow Falls" is produced by Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff of the popular PodShow
podcast "Pacific Coast Hellway" and PodShow founders, Ron Bloom and Adam
Curry.
"'Shadow Falls' combines the traditional craft of compelling storytelling
with today's top tier audio production technology and enhances it all with
audience interaction and contribution to the content," said Adam Curry,
PodShow Cofounder and President, and host of the "Daily Source Code." "The
voice talent involved would normally be found in the top sets in Hollywood,
and their combined skill enables the story to come alive in a manner that
is almost indescribable."
"With 'Shadow Falls,' we're really pushing the creative envelope for the
show itself, and at the same time, showcasing the podcast genre for
writers, actors and producers who have been limited by the Hollywood
machine," said PodShow cofounder and CEO, Ron Bloom. "As the show evolves,
you will begin to see a powerful evolution of sub-plots, music, characters
and narrative segues that involve the audience as well. This first
PodShowLA production has been so well received that we are getting more
inquiries from top Hollywood talent... and I think they are going to shake
things up in podcasting."
Fans can find "Shadow Falls" on PodShow's www.podshow.com and are able to

About "Shadow Falls"
Podcasting's first professionally produced immersive dramatic series
featuring top Hollywood voice talent, "Shadow Falls" tells the eerie tale
of a remote Northeastern town that holds secrets some will kill to protect
and others will die to expose. Settled 400 years ago by the survivors of a
mysterious tragedy, the people of "Shadow Falls" have become pawns being
used by two supernatural forces seeking to win a war older than time
itself, a war which the prescient believe could trigger the Battle of
Armageddon, and wipe out humanity as we know it. For more information, go
