Daily Podcast News

After articles in USA Today I’m sure a lot more people are googling for information about how to set up a podcast for the least amount of funds.

The can start with a free blog either at blogger.com or on live journal. Or if they have some web experience go to dhost and set up a free account with ftp access. After this they can decide to install movable type, mambo or my favourite wordpress, because it has ftp access you can upload images and mp3 files as it has 100MB of space. You could set up multiple accounts it you’re going to have a lot of shows.

Or another solution although slower would be to email your mp3 files to submit@openpodcast.org and wait to see your feed pop up in the archives section and link to it from your blog. Although this will be slow if someone wants to download it, but if you get subscribers they won’t notice as much.

A square unresizable podcast receiver, which proberly is the most popular podcast receiver available at the moment. It’s got 5 taps along the top:
