SoundTech Podcasting Kit Is a Complete Solution to Create, Upload and Broadcast Original Podcasts

CHICAGO, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- SoundTech Professional Audio, a division of US Music Corporation, today announced the SoundTech Podcasting Kit, an easy-to-use solution allowing anyone to create and place Podcasts on the web.
