Linked Media is a new UK company that hopes to provide “an interface between independent podcasters and emerging mainstream distribution channels.”The company plans to help mobile networks and other providers build relationships with, and acquire content from, independent podcast producers worldwide by providing a bridge between them.

“Independent podcasters cannot compete with big business branding and marketing campaigns, but we believe we can help them to use emerging channels such as mobile to reach new listeners,” said Neil Dixon, director of Linked Media. “This puts them on a more level playing field with the bigger commercial producers.”
