WASHINGTON, DC - 01/08/2007 – MommyCast®, at MommyCast.com, one of the most popular shows on the web, by and for women immersed in the fullness of motherhood and life, is the recipient of wonderful year end praise. Apple ʼs iTunes recently announced the 2007 Best Podcasts. MommyCast, along with 50 other deserving podcasts was named as one of 2007's Best Podcasts! Part of iTunes' ongoing effort to promote deserving podcasts, both from “indies” and established media organizations and “big name brands,” Apple has collected their “Best Of” list to celebrate this success.

Both Paige Heninger and Gretchen Vogelzang, Co-Hosts of MommyCast, expressed their appreciation to Apple, iTunes, their listeners, and fellow podcasters. According to Paige, “Lots of great audio and video podcasts are mentioned, and this list is a great place to start for anyone new to podcasting, but iTunes has many many more to check out, and we're proud to be mentioned.”

Co-hosted by Gretchen Vogelzang and Paige Heninger, and sponsored by Dixie Paper Products Company, among others, MommyCast is a highly sought after new media show. MommyCast is for moms aged 25-54, offering valuable information on community, health, home products, food and nutrition, education, technology and music.
