What is a Podcast?
Sometimes we hear a term and just go on repeating it without really understanding what it is. Here's an easy to understand explanation of a Podcast and how the process works. In addition, reasons why you might be interested in creating your own Podcasts. You'd be surprised who Podcasts and why. Learn what it is, why you might make one.
Recording Audio for Podcasts
One of the first steps in Podcasting is creating the audio. If you think you want to create the audio on your own computer then a free, easy, but robust application is "Audacity". As I said, it's easy to learn, costs nothing, and has a lot of features you might not need now but may want later. Learn more about recording with Audacity.
Podcast 'Innards'
Not everyone cares how things work - they just want them to function. But, if you're the type of person who enjoys seeing behind the curtain, then have a look at this information. Podcasts depend on an RSS feed which is comprised of Extensible Markup Language. If that just gave you a headache, move on. If it piqued your curiosity, have a look.
How to FTP Your RSS - Huh?
We're getting into advanced areas here. But, if you want to know where all the audio files and RSS feeds have to go once they're completed, then see more about FTP (File Transfer protocol) and how it's used in Podcasting. For your trouble, you'll also get a link to a free FTP program which you might want to add to your software toolbox. Learn more about FTP and get the link to download a free application.
