The magazine is the brainchild and undertaking of Kristopher Smith and Todd Andrlik. Smith is a podcaster and president/founder of Palegroove Studios, a podcast production studio. Andrlik (pronounced And er lek) is a writer and marketer who helped Smith launch Palegroove Studios in February 2005. Smith and Andrlik will serve as ID3 Podcast Magazine's co-editors in chief. They will also co-host the magazine's podcast edition."We're not a big publishing powerhouse,"Andrlik said. "We're just two guys who are passionate about podcasting and crazy enough to work on a shoestring budget to create a magazine that will benefit podcasters.""Ultimately, we want ID3 Podcast Magazine to strengthen the growing podcaster family by offering relevant and powerful information," Smith said."We want it to be a magazine podcasters will pick up and be proud of."

To help mold, review and create content that will better serve readers, ID3 Podcast Magazine has assembled an editorial board of fellow podcasters, related professionals and industry pioneers from around the world.

"As a new print magazine, there is a lot of infrastructure that needs to be built before we get into a regular bi-monthly rotation, especially considering our small staff," Andrlik said of the premier May/June issue's lead time. "More importantly, we want to measure twice and cut once. It's important that we deliver the highest quality magazine with the highest quality content so the magazine is something podcasters can be proud of."

"Prior to launching our first issue and between issues, subscribers will enjoy behind-the-scenes podcasts, exclusive stories, interviews and more via www.id3mag.com," Smith added.
