It seems like every day that I run across new products and services being offered in the podcast space.

Here are some of recent note:

Wavigo adds podcast support. From their press release: "Wavigo has just added podcast support to its powerful voice, text, information and entertainment service suite. Now Wavigo users can select, manage, and listen to their favorite podcasts with ease. Wavigo's podcast management feature allows users to download or stream podcasts directly to Wavigo, and play them through Wavigo's built-in music and video media player."

Clickwheel offers comics on the iPod through RSS. This is similar to a podcast. They call them podstrips. From their web site:
"Central to Clickwheel's design is an RSS feed that allows you to search,
grab and display comics or toons that have been created for the iPod photo.
And because comics on the iPod is a completely new field, we've commissioned
a number of leading artists to create work for us — these include
demian.5,
Ted Dewan,
Daniel Merlin Goodbrey and
Colin White.
They've each been asked to produce a running series for the feed, so their
work will be appearing over the coming year, with new episodes following on a
regular basis."

Parliant offers Phone Valet podcast bundle. From Yahoo!: "The VST edition of SoundSoap 2 and BIAS Peak Express, the PhoneValet 3.0 hardware and software, are included with the PhoneValet Podcast bundle. The three tools let podcasters to capture, edit and enhance phone recordings. According to the company, PhoneValet records telephone interviews, while SoundSoap 2 is basically the clean-up cres: It removes hiss, clicks, crackles, and other unwanted noises. Peak Express is a version of the stereo audio editor that improves the sound file through sample rate conversion and invert, fade in/out, gain, and other functions."

iPodverts lets podcasters sell advertising space on their podcasts. From their web site: "Podcasts attract very targeted audiences, which makes for a fantastic opportunity for advertisers to target specific demographics. iPodverts will now be able to bring together Podcasters and Advertisers, opening up a whole new category of advertising."
