here is a basic step by step guide.

1: on your web server create a diretory called podcasts
2: using an audio encoding program , create the content, music, talk whatever, then save it as an mp3 file. lets call it test.mp3

3: upload that to your podcasts directory where it can be accessed by anyone
4: next open notepad or other basic text editor

5: put the following text in there:

<rss version="2.0">

<title>this is the title of my show</title>

6: save this file as podcast.xml
7: upload it into the same directory as the podcast

thats it, now all you need to do is goto say itunes, open up the rss feed box and drop in the link to podcast.xml so it would be http://www.YOURSITE.com/podcasts/podcast.xml

8: itunes will read the xml file which basically tells it where to get the audio files and when they were updates. it then goes and downloads them for later listening.


Thats a very basic overview. you can add more tags in for players such as itunes so you can be listed in theire directories and stuff, but you get the basic idea
