How to Podcast for Free (or cheap)

Step 4: Creating an RSS Feed

Creating an RSS feed can be more daunting than recording the show at first, but a little research and dedication makes it easy.  

Step 1: Set up a blog for the show on Blogger.com.  While my primary blog features the show, it was more convenient for me to set up a show-specific blog.  The most important thing to do is create a direct download link in each entry to the podcast file.  Basically- just a plain link that when clicked downloads the Mp3.  Without this, the RSS feed will see no media items, and be worthless.

Step 2: Use Google's Feedburner service to set up a podcast feed.  Follow the instructions carefully, and use the Podmedic tool to check for media file enclosures.  

Step 3: Thats it.  Simple.  You now have completed the step that essentially takes you from Mp3 file uploader to podcaster.
