BEA launches podcast/video streaming site for public

BookExpo America has expanded its free podcasting and video streaming service so that for the first time, BEA and other book-related programming will be available to the general public. Yesterday’s inaugural podcast was of the 57th National Book Awards presentation, which was held earlier this month. The program was made available on the BEA’s podcast site, www.bookexpocast.com.

“BEA’s podcast platform will enable BEA to become a year-round ‘convention without walls,’ and a destination for the thousands of people who are seeking book-related news and entertainment,”said Rob Simon, president and CEO of BurstMarketing, the company that is partnering with BEA.
