RECON, the Magazine of Woods Paintball, has teamed up with Blast Radius Woodsball Podcast to bring the paintball community even more in-depth coverage of the sport.

The show’s host, Wayne Montle, will broadcast exclusive interviews with RECON staff, photographers and reporters to uncover the “inside story” behind selected articles in the magazine.

Montle and RECON Editor-in-Chief Dawn Allcot first met at the 2007 Special Ops Elite Weekend. Montle loaned Allcot a remote line for her Tippmann A-5 and the two media professionals became fast friends. With so much synergy between the Podcast and the magazine, Montle devised this creative cross-promotion to benefit the woodsball and scenario community.

“When you pick up a copy of RECON, you are getting the best print coverage available - the best articles and the best images in the business,” Montle commented. “Blast Radius Woodsball Podcast is proud to help expand that coverage. Now you can get the story behind the story. Listeners can find out how the columns came together, plus learn all the details that didn't get printed." Allcot said, “I’ve always been a fan of Wayne’s show, and I’m excited about this partnership! We’re in the age of multimedia. While players still enjoy picking up a print publication for the in-depth stories and full-color photos, it’s great to be able to offer a whole new level of coverage thanks to Blast Radius Woodsball Podcast.”

As part of the agreement, BRWP will hold special listener contests to give away free subscriptions to RECON during the show. Additionally, Montle will fill the role as RECON Multimedia Correspondent during the 2008 scenario paintball season.

Blast Radius Woodsball Podcast is independently produced by Wayne Montle of Boulder, Colorado. Montle has been playing paintball since 1990, and began creating the podcast in July 2006. He hosts each episode, which provides interviews, reviews, and commentary on recreational and scenario paintball. A podcast is similar to a radio show available on-demand via the Internet. Listeners can subscribe for free and listen to episodes on an mp3 player or computer. Blast Radius Woodsball Podcast is freely available through www.blastradiuswoodsballpodcast.com, and can be found on iTunes and other podcast directories.
