R&B singer Usher, who recently signed a deal to be the face of Sony Ericsson’s new Walkman, jumped into the podcasting arena today with the debut of his new video podcasting network in partnership with Wizzard Media.
The video podcasting network series set to be distributed through iTunes in addition to Wizzard.tv will include behind the scenes access to the business of launching an album, producing a video, preparing for a tour, philanthropy, and more.
"The entertainment business is much more than the red carpets and VIP parties. I want to expose viewers to the daily grind of the industry," said Usher. "uCast allows me to share over 10 years of business knowledge with the subscribers, through my eyes, and show them a different world beyond the glitz and glamour. Get ready for a ride!"
In addition to iTunes, Usher's video podcast will be available on MySpace, Facebook, Wizzard's streaming channels on Dailymotion and Veoh, and in the world's leading podcast directories.

Recently married superstars Jay-Z and Usher have recorded a duet celebrating the joys of being married to their respective wives. The title of the song "Best Thing," is featured on Usher's album Here I Stand, in-stores May 27.
"Of course, with the talk of both of us now being newlyweds, there is a question as to why, and is it real?" Usher told MTV Base of the song, produced by Jermaine Dupri (who could certainly understand the sentiment, being longtime boyfriend to Janet Jackson). "Well, if you hear that [song], you'll understand what [Jay-Z] meant when he says, 'Seeds becomes plants/ Boys become men/ You've got to grow up, not down.'"
Jay-Z, 38, married Beyoncé Knowles, 26, in April. Usher, 29, married stylist Tameka Foster, 38, last August.
