REDMOND, WA — February 28, 2008 — In anticipation of the upcoming release of the "Heroes" soundtrack album from NBC Universal, "Heroes" executive producer and director Allan Arkush has crafted five unique music video podcasts that will be exclusively available for free download on Zune Marketplace.  Each video short features exclusive edits of "Heroes" footage set to select tracks from the album.  Nada Surf's "Weightless" provides the soundtrack to the first video, which debuts February 29 on Zune Marketplace and MSN (http://tv.msn.com).
