A Podcast is just an audio file that is distributed by RSS feed, that you download and listen to with your computer or a portable device such as an mp3 player or Apple iPod (hence the name).
What separates it different from a standard RSS feed is the audio component included in the enclosure field.
Instead of reading the article, you are downloading an audio file which contains a read version of the article.
It\'s the online equivalent of an audio-book.
Podcasting hints:
- To create the initial XML RSS Feed data use the podcast generator
- Make a directory in your webspace - say ./podcast for the xml and mp3 files
- Upload your XML and MP3 files to your podcast directory
- Announce your new Podcast to podcast.net and the tens of thousands of other directories
voila - you are now in the PodCasting business.
