A Podcast
is a simple way to listen to audio when you want and where you want!
Podcasting is a true revolution in the broadcasting field. For example,
if you had a weekly show offering tips on getting your life organized, you
could create a podcast and have your listeners subscribe to your podcast. Then, simply upload the new weekly show and your
audience will
instantly receive it via their podcast receiving software such as
iTunes or
iPodder. |
Podcast
(definition) - A podcast is an audio broadcast that is downloaded to your
computer when you want, at the time you want. It's original name comes
from the fact that people put their podcasts on their Apple iPods.
R.S.S. (definition)
- Really Simple Syndication. This is the XML file which tells your
podcast client where the new audio files are.
Podcasts can be
any type of audio file. MP3 is the most common format. You create
an R.S.S. feed that your users subscribe to!

Step 2 |
|
Create your RSS file and update it with the latest
MP3! |
| |
|
For example, if you were creating a weekly podcast
interviewing star wars fans, you would create a RSS file called 'starwars-fans.xml'.
For your first episode interviewing 'Bobba Fett SanFran', you would
create a new 'item' and link it to your mp3. Add a bit of info
describing the first podcast, save it and you're ready to upload it.
