Today we announced to the industry that we are launching THP Radio. A podcast that will debut in a few weeks that will be downloadable directly from the home page. THP Radio will start as just a podcast, but the plan is to have this evolve into something a little more unique. For those that do not know Mr. Bogey, you will get to know him throughout the podcasts. He is somebody that has been a huge help to THP in our company relations and we think that you will enjoy what he brings to the table.

We hope you enjoy the launch and as always, this new feature is about you guys and gals, so feedback is welcome, wanted, and helpful.



TAMPA BAY, FL - (December 18, 2009) - The Hackers Paradise (The Hackers Paradise ), the premier destination on the internet to discuss all things golf, announced the launch of THP radio and a new golf show that will be hosted by site president Josh Babbitt and debut in January 2010.

The 30-minute weekly show titled "In the Rough with JB and Mr. Bogey," will begin as a podcast with aspirations of growing during the course of 2010. Similar to THP's frequently visited online forum and newly released magazine, THP radio hosts will discuss the latest happenings in golf and profile new equipment. Babbitt will team with fellow golfer and THP contributor "Mr. Bogey" who has worked in the golf industry for a number of years and will bring strong opinions to the show.

"The beauty of THP's forum is that we feel we have a pretty good pulse on what golfers are talking about and what excites them," said THP president Josh Babbitt. "We hope to carry over this same momentum and energy to the airwaves and provide yet another avenue for golf fans to consume their golf and equipment news. Through the support of various golf companies, our show will also provide giveaways ranging from equipment, accessories and apparel to our listeners."

Followers of THP's forum will notice a "radio" icon at the top of the page beginning in January and will be able to click and download a podcast of the show.

The Hacker's Paradise which launched its website in 2008, has reached an elite status amongst popular golf websites. In 2009, THP saw a significant increase in traffic thanks in part to unique product reviews daily, timely interviews, and community forum where opinions are shared and discussed in a family-friendly manner.

Last month THP also rolled out its premiere issue of THP the Magazine, a publication that sold out in less than 48 hours and will be available nationwide at places such as Barnes & Noble.com and Amazon in 2010.

"The THP franchise is growing rapidly and we feel like we are strategically positioned to capture the golfer's attention via multiple mediums," added Babbitt.
The Hackers Paradise is quickly becoming the destination for consumers to read about the world of golf equipment, apparel, and accessories while at the same time having a blast entering some fun contests and winning some great stuff along the way. So many websites now are throwing traffic numbers up at companies to try and draw them in to advertising dollars. THP has no advertising by policy, so the smoke and mirrors is not necessary.

Can't wait to download the first episode JB! Any other new projects in the works - maybe pinning Amollerud down for some more THP TV episodes?

[GECEDEANY]

THP TV will be a big part of 2010. No question about that. We will not only have tips from the pros, but we will also have some great interviews, PGA Show stuff, and so much more.

[agrismhig]

Can't wait for these. And the new THP TV videos will be great to see.

[GECEDEANY]

The 1st radio episode will be ready for download the 1st week of January and we hope everybody enjoys the show and the topics. As with everything, this radio show is about the site and feedback is what we want to hear. We want to know what you want to hear about each week, what you do not want to hear, etc...
