First eco-lifestyle live internet talk radio launches

The network will launch initially with seven programs with more programs slated to join the lineup in February, featuring environmental activists, business leaders, inventors and trend-setters promoting a more sustainable future for the world and coming generations.

"Environmental topics are hot right now and green programming is in high demand," said Jeff Spenard, President of the Internet Radio division for Modavox, the parent of VoiceAmerica’s Live Internet Talk Radio Networks. "We are in the process of bringing new personalities to our network daily and are looking to build a community that shares a passion for helping us to ’spread the green.’ We will promote a wealth of ideas on the environment, global warming and the eco-friendly lifestyle."

Along with the online radio network, the launch page for the network will feature regularly updated environmental news, green events of interest to the community of hosts and listeners, and ideas and tips for living a sustainable lifestyle.

"The Green Talk Network came about because we wanted our listeners and hosts to show that we can all be a part of the solution, rather than the problem facing the environment." according to Spenard. "We’re going to help our generation, our kids, and their kids to live in a world knowing that they can really make a difference."

The Green Talk Network will launch its first show on Monday, January 5. To access the shows and information, visit http://www.thegreentalknetwork.com . All shows will be available in archived show pages for on-demand and podcast download.
