Podiobooks has just made an agreement with Smashwords. This is going to allow the two sites to link to each other so that users can get their audio and, if they just want more, the text versions of authors who participate. Watch for your favorite author to put their book out there!
In further news, Podiobooks is continuing to move toward that 2.0 release that we’ve been telling you about. Rumor has it, we’re just a couple weeks from testing.

The discussion of podcast music was really interesting – thanks for that.
There are several sites that provide CC-licenced music suitable for podcasts. Some even allow commercial use, but others may require contact with the band or publisher to come to some arrangement.
As a starting point, you could try http://www.podsafeaudio.com or the very flexible and easy to use http://www.jamendo.com (which has some great music for free download even if you don’t want it for your podcast!). Jamendo also have commercial options built into their site so you don’t necessarily need to contact anyone else.

Mick, Thanks for the links! I’ll also add them into the Tips & Resources page we keep. We have links to many Sound Libraries there and these will fit in well.
I also used http://www.podsafeaudio.com to find the band who provided my music and then contacted them for permission to sell the book and still include it. They generously agreed.
There is some great music on that site.
