Former NFL Player Tony Mandarich to Appear on Modavox's VoiceAmerica™ Sports Network Show "Ray Ellis Sports"

Business Wire, Oct 6, 2008

Interview to Discuss Steroid Use, His Life Threatening Addiction to Pain Killers and Alcohol and His New Book, "My Dirty Little Secrets - Steroids, Alcohol & God - The Tony Mandarich Story"

PHOENIX -- Modavox, Inc. (OTCBB:MDVX), Internet broadcasting pioneer and holder of several patented technologies, today announced that former NFL player Tony Mandarich will be interviewed on the Company's VoiceAmerica[TM] Sports Network program "Ray Ellis Sports" (www.rayellissports.com) live Tuesday October 7th at 1pm PST and 4pm EST.

The former football star will sit down with former fellow NFL player Ray Ellis for a one on one interview hot on the heals of his news-breaking exclusive interview with Armen Keteyian for INSIDE THE NFL on SHOWTIME which aired Wednesday, Oct. 1. In that interview Mandarich admitted for the first time ever that he used anabolic steroids while at Michigan State. Mandarich also revealed that he had a life-threatening addiction to pain killers and alcohol prior to entering the NFL, which continued during his three-year tenure with the Green Bay Packers. He also confessed to cheating on his drug test while playing for Michigan State in the Rose Bowl.

The two will discuss these issues in addition to the upcoming release of Mandarich's new book "My Dirty Little Secrets - Steroids, Alcohol & God - The Tony Mandarich Story," which will be released in March 2009, nearly 20 years after he was drafted into the NFL.

Jeff Spenard, Modavox President of Internet Radio stated, "We're pleased that our VoiceAmerica[TM] Sports Network continues to attract the attention and interest of notable professional athletes like Tony Mandarich. Our platform continues to uniquely provide guests like him the ability to tell their story in their own words. We continue to remain focused on producing both high quality programming as well as content. The forthcoming launching of the 'O and Hodge' as well as this interview with Tony continue to illustrate the scalability of our offerings as well as demonstrating how our unique platform can be leveraged by all sorts of athletes to build their audience and their brand."

About Tony Mandarich
