Wachovia's pilot podcast – "The Week Ahead" – provides listeners with in-depth commentary on a variety of current economic events and their potential impact both domestically and internationally.

"Our pilot podcast marks a significant step in the evolution of Wachovia's delivery of relevant financial content to our customers," said Juan Silvera, eCommerce director of emerging trends. "We believe this method of communicating will quickly become an essential tool for providing easy access and meaningful information to customers."

Wachovia's pilot podcast is located on the Corporate & Institutional page on wachovia.com; follow the Economic Commentary link under Research & Publications (http://www.wachovia.com/misc/1,,1466,00.html). Listeners have the option to subscribe to the podcast using an RSS reader, stream the audio feed on their computers or download the file for future playback.         

While "The Week Ahead" represents the company's first podcast, the infrastructure and technology developed to facilitate its release pave the way for many more opportunities for Wachovia to deliver relevant, up-to-date information to customers.

"Several other Wachovia business units are exploring the use of podcasts, and we will continue to partner closely on how to best leverage this new method of content delivery," said Silvera.
