Coverville is a podcast featuring cover versions of pop, rock and country songs by new and established performers. The show is produced and hosted by Brian Ibbott out of his home in Arvada, Colorado.〔(About Coverville ) coverville.com. 〕〔Waters, Darren (2005-07-19). ("Pick of the podcasts: Coverville" ). BBC News. 〕 Coverville is also part of the programming of the KYCY-AM "open source radio" station in San Francisco. ==History== Ibbott, who wanted to be a disc jockey as a child, began his DJ career at weddings, though was bored with the music selection such venues permitted.〔("Rise of the Pod People" ), ''Dallas Observer''. June 23, 2005. 〕 A TechTV story he saw in August 2004 got him interested in podcasting.〔 The first Coverville podcast was launched on September 28, 2004. Coverville passed episode #300 on March 4, 2007 〔(Coverville's 300th episode ) coverville.com. 〕 and episode #500 on August 26, 2008,〔(Coverville's 500th episode ) coverville.com. 〕 which was celebrated with a "gala" in Las Vegas where fans could meet with artists featured on the show.〔 (Full interview)〕 Coverville "paved the way" for the legal podcasting of copyrighted music: early in Coverville's history, Ibbott contacted major performance rights organisations (initially ASCAP and BMI) to license music for his podcast. In October 2004, Brian met with ASCAP and BMI to explain the technology and delivery methods behind podcasting, and they adapted their non-interactive license to include podcast licensing.〔 Ibbott was active in publicizing this information among other podcasters. Coverville has been discussed in articles appearing in print and online publications such as Rolling Stone and BusinessWeek Online,〔 and recommended by the BBC.〔 In 2005, 2011, 2012,〔("Past Winners" ). Podcast Awards. Podcast Connect Inc. 〕 and 2013, Coverville won Podcast Connect's People's Choice Podcast Award in the "Podcast Safe Music" category. In 2005, Ibbott estimated 5000 subscribers for ''Coverville'',〔Robert Smith (February 1, 2005). ("'PodCasting' to Music, Talk Fans Online" ) (streaming audio, MP3). ''Day to Day''. NPR News. Robert Smith (February 1, 2005).
