Disruptive New App to Radically Change Podcast Distribution and Monetization
Wizzard Media (NYSE Amex: WZE), the world’s leading podcast network, today announced the launch of its industry first, Podcast App for Facebook Timeline. The Podcast App for Timeline allows distribution of Wizzard Media’s podcast directory so that publishers, their friends and fans can invite others to watch or listen to their podcast show directly from within Facebook. When Facebook users watch podcast episodes, those activities appear throughout the Facebook Timeline, NewsFeed and Ticker – for all of their friends to see and watch as well, spreading new episodes virally throughout the social network.
The Podcast App for Timeline was created to take advantage of the social dynamics of Facebook where information and content become viral and spread through Friend networks. Currently, Facebook has 845 million active users that share over 100 billion social connections collectively. Facebook integration via the Podcast App for Timeline is a new, unique distribution approach that marries the power of the world’s largest social media network with the world’s largest podcast network – comprised of over 1,000,000 podcast episodes.
“We believe that the Podcast App for Facebook has the potential to create an entirely new platform for distributing, discovering and consuming podcasts,” says Laurie Sims, President of Wizzard Media. “Nothing like this has ever been done for podcasting and Facebook has the size and structure to substantially increase unique audiences. As this content is streamed, as opposed to downloaded, the opportunity for advertising revenues increases substantially. Along with all the new potential audience members comes the opportunity for the podcast producer to drive increased paid subscribers using our newly launched Premium Subscription product. The deep and persistent social connections within Facebook, combined with the interactive aspect of podcasts is probably the single most important development for the podcasting industry since iTunes launched its podcast directory for iPods many years ago.”
In the first quarter of 2012, the Wizzard Media Network reached an all time high 23 million unique audience members and Wizzard’s Management believes this Facebook integration will have an immediate positive impact on usage and unique audience growth. Recent successes as reported by Facebook for other similar companies show growth that is not reachable through traditional means and Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) has built a great majority of their business around Facebook Apps.

Over 500 Episodes Available Only Through Libsyn
Wizzard Media (NYSE Amex: WZE), the world’s leading podcast network, today announced the availability of The Adam Carolla Show subscription service for podcasts. Adam Carolla is the host of the daily podcast that averages over 2 million downloads a week and holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for the most downloaded podcast ever. The Adam Carolla Show has an extensive back catalog of over 500 episodes hosted on libsynPro that will now be available only through a Mylibsyn paid subscription.
The wildly popular Adam Carolla Show podcast is the anchor show for the ACE Broadcasting Network, which is a Featured Provider in iTunes. The show is in the iTunes Top 10 overall, listed in Staff Picks and number one in the Comedy Category. Certain individual episodes of The Adam Carolla Show occupy top iTunes spots overall and in the Comedy category. Adam Carolla has one of the most loyal and devoted fan bases in all of podcasting and it continues to grow larger every month — pushing his podcast to No. 1 in the world according to The Daily Dose.
While The Adam Carolla Show is the flagship enterprise, the platform has allowed him to launch other properties. Adam recently told USA Today, “The podcast is a platform. It helps to sell books, to sell out theaters and promote whatever project I’m doing. I sold 20,000 copies of my book two months before it came out and ended up in the Top 10 on Amazon just from the podcast.”
The most recent 50 episodes of The Adam Carolla Show will remain free with access to over 500 additional episodes through a paid subscription via Mylibsyn and The Adam Carolla Show page on libsyn.
“We are very excited to be the exclusive provider for The Adam Carolla Show’s back catalog,” said Laurie Sims, President of Wizzard Media. “We have enjoyed supporting the ACE Network’s growth and helping The Adam Carolla Show gain the Guinness World Record. The popularity of the show and the extensive catalog of top quality, high demand content are perfect for monetization through paid subscriptions. We are thrilled to add The Adam Carolla Show to our growing list of Mylibsyn popular paid subscription services.”
About Adam Carolla:
In February 2009, Adam Carolla launched ACE Broadcasting with its first show The Adam Carolla Podcast. From there it has quickly expanded to include six other weekly podcasts with many new shows in development.
Started from his home office, The Adam Carolla Show now reaches more than 5 million downloads a month. It reached critical acclaim when iTunes bestowed the crew with the Rewind Award for Best Podcast Of 2009 (Audio). Past guests have included: Francis Ford Coppola, Alec Baldwin, Albert Brooks, Jon Stewart, Danny DeVito, Matt Dillon, Michael Moore, Laurence Fishburne, Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno, Joel McHale, Brad Garrett, David Cross, Patton Oswalt, Aisha Tyler, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Greg Fitzsimmons and many more.
With over 60 million downloads to date, the podcast pioneer remains a constant in the Top 10 of iTunes’ Podcasts chart. The Adam Carolla Show holds the record for Most Daily Downloaded online show, with one episode being downloaded 550,000 times. Adam’s accomplishments have been featured in Entertainment Weekly’s Must List, Esquire, Fast Company, Entrepreneur and on ABC News.
“The idea that people want to be under our umbrella is flattering, and it is why we did it for free and used our own money. It would be nice to make your own decisions, ones you have to live and die with,” Adam said in a March 2010 feature of Fast Company Magazine.
More on Adam:
Adam Carolla, who is best known for his work in television and radio, has previously hosted CBS RADIO’s “The Adam Carolla Show,” was co-host of the nationally syndicated radio call-in show “Loveline,” co- created, executive produced and co-hosted Comedy Central’s “The Man Show,” co-created, executive produced and was a character on “Crank Yankers,” as well as a contestant on “Dancing With The Stars” and “Celebrity Apprentice.” Carolla also starred, wrote and produced the award-winning indie film “The Hammer.” Adam’s book of rants for Crown Publishing, titled “In 50 Years We’ll All Be Chicks” hit the New York Times bestseller list. His new book, “Not Taco Bell Material,” will be released in June.

Prepares Shareholder Spin-Off of Home Healthcare Business
Wizzard Software Corporation (NYSE Amex: WZE), the world’s leading podcast network, today announced that it has signed a definitive share exchange agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Digital Entertainment International Ltd., herein referred to as FAB, a leading licensor and distributor of copyright-protected digital media content in China.
FAB generated audited revenues of $39.1 million in 2009, $55.5 million in 2010 and $70.9 million in 2011. Net income generated by FAB was $4.6 million in 2009, $11.5 million in 2010 and $15.3 million in 2011.
Founded in 2003, FAB is headquartered in Beijing and offers the largest selection in mainland China of copyrighted DVD’s, Blu-ray Discs, music CD’s, video games and downloadable digital content through three distribution channels – wholesale and retail, vending kiosks, and internet stores.
“We have been looking for the right international partner to help grow and monetize our digital media distribution business and with FAB we have found a high-growth company with outstanding leadership and innovative technology products uniquely positioned in the world’s largest consumer market,” said Chris Spencer, CEO of Wizzard Media. “FAB is in the process of leveraging its well-known and reputable retail media brand into a growing online and kiosk-based media distribution network. The best way to describe FAB is – Best Buy meets iTunes meets Redbox. We believe FAB has the opportunity to dominate mobile digital entertainment delivery throughout China as it currently does through its traditional wholesale and retail media distribution business.” For more information on FAB, please click here.
The FAB Media Kiosks have served to greatly enhance consumer ease-of-purchase while reducing the appeal of pirated content, positively transforming market dynamics in China for legitimate content and facilitating licensing opportunities with traditional media publishers who desire safe access to the world’s largest, fastest-growing consumer market. The combined company plans to aggressively expand through internal growth and domestic and international acquisitions over the next two years to build a global distribution powerhouse for mobile digital entertainment.
In return for 100% of the outstanding shares of FAB, Wizzard will issue shares equal to 49% of its outstanding shares at the time of the closing and two new seats on the Board of Directors. Additionally, FAB has the ability to receive or earn up to 78% of the outstanding shares of Wizzard upon meeting certain corporate governance and revenue milestones over the course of two years after closing. The current U.S.-based management of Wizzard Software will remain, including its CEO, CFO. Mr. Zhang, founder and controlling shareholder of FAB, will be welcomed as Chairman of the Board upon the closing of the transaction.
The transaction announced in this press release is subject to approval by Wizzard’s shareholders, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and exchange and regulatory approvals both in the U.S. and China.
Detailed information on the transaction can be found at www.sec.gov in Wizzard’s 8K filing.

Wizzard Podcasters Dominate SXSW

All-Star Podcasts Powered by Libsyn
Wizzard Media (NYSE Amex: WZE), the world’s leading podcast network, today announced that SXSW’s (South By Southwest) impressive podcast lineup of the most downloaded and influential podcasts from the world of comedy are almost exclusively hosted on the Wizzard Media Network. Headlining daily at SXSW Comedy are a multitude of Wizzard Media podcast producers.
Referring to comic and host of the WTF podcast Marc Maron as “a God here” at SXSW, Forbes’ Jeff Bercovici spoke with him about what it takes to make a successful podcast. Maron has established a business around his podcast, hosted on Wizzard, which has become extremely popular. The most recent 50 episodes of his show are always free to continue to grow his audience base, however, several different revenue streams including advertising, app sales and premium subscription upgrades have begun to bring in steady revenues for Maron. WTF’s premium subscription via Mylibsyn enables streaming of all 200 episodes online and through both iOS and Android Apps.
Comedy podcasts attract celebrity guests including well-known filmmakers, actors, musicians, artists and other comics. Kevin Smith, head of the SModcast Network on Wizzard, took advantage of his gift of gab and celebrity connections to begin podcasting. After he lost his passion for film, podcasting saved his career. “I had no idea, but that would become the…center of everything I’m doing now,” said Smith during a panel at SXSW (CNN).
“It is exciting to see such strong representation by our producers at SXSW Comedy,” said Rob Walch, VP, Podcast Relations at Wizzard Media. “It is a testament to the growing popularity and monetization opportunities of podcasting. It also speaks to the strength of our producers, our network and the Libsyn publishing platform.”
Podcasts were initially viewed as a springboard to other endeavors but as audiences have grown, opportunities to make money have grown as well. “The ultimate freedom that allowed me to walk away from the [money] of the movie business – what gave me the strength to walk away – was…podcasting,” according to Kevin Smith. Comedy shows represent over 20% of the Top 100 shows both in iTunes and on the Wizzard Media Network.
