The April 2nd “100% Podsafe” issue of iProng Magazine features a hefty little interview with me, Anji Bee, discussing Lovespirals, going podsafe, getting into podcasting, music licensing, live performance vs studio recording, and much more. Also included this issue is a great article on eMusic vs Amazon downloads, interviews with fellow podsafe artists Geoff Smith and Natalie Gelman, and a feature article with Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes, who recently released their new single to the Podsafe Music Network. By the way, you can check out tons of Lovespirals tracks on the PMN for use on podcasts, internet radio, Second Life DJ sets, and more!

Anji Competes on Pod 5 Idol for TibetAid
[audio: http://media.podshow.com/media/15440/episodes/106113/podfive-106113-03-31-2008_pshow_235786.mp3]
The Pod 5 launched their very own Pod 5 Idol featuring acapella renditions of podsafe songs by podcasters and podsafe artists, competing for charity. All 15 contestants have pledged to donate $5 each to the charity of the winner’s choice. Participants include Matthew Ebel, Karmyn Tyler, KFC of Skydiver Girls, Cybster DJ, all 5 of the show hosts, and more. Oh, and of course, me! I am competing on behalf of TibetAid, to whom I have recently donated $5 via ChipIn. In return they sent me 3 “Compassion” reminder bracelets with a receipt for my contribution. Nice! Interestingly, 3 of us covered fellow contestant, Matthew Ebel (myself included), and Cybster DJ covered me!
Check out the show and vote for your favorite contestant – once a day, if possible – by emailing vote@podfive.com.

Music Remyx 02 features me, Anji Bee, chatting about the Chillin’ with Lovespirals podcast and our current PLP remix contest, as well as the song being remixed, “This Truth.” This new weekly music podcast was created by Mike Willis of Mike’s Hotdish and Jimi Lee of Indie Radio Chattanooga to highlight some of the best music shows and podsafe bands on the podosphere.
PodfinderUK Interviews Anji Bee
The PodfinderUK blog posted a Mini-Interview with The Chillcast’s Anji Bee this week. Topics include the origin of both The Chillcast and Chillin’ with Lovespirals podcasts, my favorite podcasts and vidcasts, what I wanted to be when I was a child, the most “significant thing” to happen to me as a result of podcasting, and future plans for my shows. PodfinderUK is a great little “best of” style vidcast starring Josephine Laurence presenting an eclectic mix of vidcast and podcast clips from all over the podosphere.
Anji Bee is the soft, sultry, sexy voice of the Chillcast, and one half of the Lovespirals.
