A couple of months ago, on Mashable Conversations we spoke with Scott Sigler, a published fiction writer who launched his career with social media (specifically podcasting). He, along with a number of other aspiring and accomplished authors, would debut his work to the public by releasing serialized episodes of the chapters of his book, something that became such a trend that a community site called Podiobooks sprang up around it.
Today, according to Podcasting News, Podiobooks has already moved their backend podcast storage system over to the LibsynPro hosting solution, and has signed a advertising partnership with Wizzard Media. The deal will end up making available to Wizzard advertising clients the entire Podiobooks inventory.
This is a pretty significant deal for both organizations, raising the public profile for Podiobooks, but also a bit of cash for the community. On Wizzards side of things, it's simply yet another impressive partnership in what is become a long list of good news for one of the few podcast companies that seems to have nothing but good luck.
