Wow, thanks for this. It helped me with how to figure out the RRS feed, that’s for sure. Now we just need to figure out how to do a group recording.. And then how to edit.

Nice introduction! I would add that if you are using a Mac for podcasting, you can go to

http://docs.libsyn.com/index.php/User_scripts

to download an Applescript that will encode your podcast from AIFF/WAV to MP3, add all of your ID3 tags (including photos, if you have them), and ftp them up to your podcasting host (it’s set to use LibSyn, which I would also recommend).

Brought to you with a smile from the four guys at “Four Guys Walk Into a Bar…”, a weekly conversation that you are welcome to join. :-)

As for an encoding device for your podcast: I would say a majority of podcasters (including me) employ a podcast provider that encodes and uploads your MP3 files for them. I think most podcasting geeks are still into encoding, but it’s becoming a thing of the past for the podcasting mainstream.

I used this article as a quick checklist. To assume that one has to use podsafe music (a fancy term for unpublished music)(just as bad a word choice as podcasting) is, however, a misleading assumption.

In many parts of continental Europe, podcasting is not yet regulated by copyright law. This means that we are free to use copyrighted music, which is kind weird, just because folks can’t agree on a price to charge and who is going to collect. Go figure.

This isn’t really a beginner’s guide because it requires too much technical knowledge. So many people keep missing the boat on this.

Most people don’t want to use Audacity (or can’t figure it out) and don’t care about encoding. Those are the real beginners. This is a podcasting howto for geeks or geek-lites, not beginners.

You missed the best hosting sites:
ClickCaster (www.clickcaster.com)
PodOMatic (www.podomatic.com)

Why’s Odeo always get mentioned and their main competitors keep getting ignored by the bloggers? Weird.

Oops, I forgot the real reason I was going to comment.

USE A SHORTER FUCKING URL.

Or, change your php to allow for the creation of a page that doesn’t directly correspond to the name of the article. A page name is not a title. A page name is the name of a page. Why advertise geekiness and pontificate on things tech without actually understanding your own webserver base?

Go back to digg. Take your faux-nerd groupies with you.

Good lord. The moniker ‘podcast’ is, as was said, confusing. It’s also trendy to the point of severe annoyance. It’s a fucking audio file/mp3/wav/ogg/wma. It’s a recording of you. Someone thought it would be clever to allow their (ill-conceived) blog to be listened to on someone else’s digital audio player. Why you and others continue to perpetuate such a mar on the technological wonder the internet *could* and *can* be is totally behind my comprehension.

Thats the problem with the name “podcasting” it really does confuse people into thinking they need an ipod to listen. There must be some better names out there…

Thanks
