How to make your own podcast

How to make your own podcast

I was recently asked by some Fabricanti about podcasting, what it is and how to make one. So here are a list of online how-tos that show you how to podcast your own music or audio files. This post is meant to be a starting point for the beginners, and if you find more resources, please contribute in the comment section.

Podcasting in a nutshell:
Podcast is a way to distribute audio and video content using RSS feeds. By subscribing to the RSS feed, the users' computer will automatically download new content without the user having to actively go to the website and active search for new content. The podcast files are then available for the users to listen (or watch) on their computer when they want, however they want. Podcasts are usually updated periodically. The easiest way to find podcast channels is to use the iTunes podcast library.

How to podcast audio files:
1. Using Blogger with Feedburner - for the total newbies (free service, super easy to set up, check this out if you don't have your own server)

2. Using Wordpress (if you are already familiar with Wordpress, this is easy as cake)

3. Enclosure, MovableType's podcast plugin. This is probably the most complicated out of the three, but if you already have an MT powered blog, this plugin makes it handy to add podcast as part of your existing blog.

Video files can also be podcasted using methods 2 and 3 above, and alternatively, here's a free software that lets you set up your own video podcast channel in seconds: Broadcast Machine.
