The Webkinz Webcast is a podcast based on the Webkinz line of stuffed animals. The first episode aired on September 23, 2007. The podcast was started by Dave Swerdlick and his two children, Hannah and Zoe. They have recorded and released 110 shows. The last episode was released January 24/2010. All the Webkinz Webcast episodes are still up on the libsyn server available for download, and their website is up as well. Breaking News At the start of each show, the Webkinz Webcast shows a feature called "Breaking News", where the listener is told about events related to Webkinz, such as the release of new Webkinz pets. Each show usually contains one or two Breaking News features, although some have more. WebkinzWebcast.com The webcast's website hosts several other Webkinz-related features, such as monthly contests and virtual Webkinz recipes. They also have pictures of the newest pets and items. Monthly contests Every month, the Webkinz Webcast holds a contest that asks a question such as, "What new Webkinz item should Ganz release next?", which viewers can answer. The winner is usually sent a full-sized webkinz as a prize, however, there have been other prizes such as the Superpet CD. Opening Statement Before the theme song of each show, Zoe (and sometimes Hannah, Dave, or a guest star) starts off the webcast by saying a rhyme like "We're gonna have a blast, it's time for the Webkinz Webcast" or "Hey, kids, don't you know?
