Hopefully I'm in the right section since I think podcasts are usually audio.
What exactly is a podcast? I looked on Wikipedia and it looks like you just make an audio or video file and use a RSS feed. Am I right? THe problem is that I know squat about RSS. Recording and converting audio/video I can do with my eyes closed, but I'm clueless about RSS. So if you guys could clue me in on this issue I'd be grateful.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I think the RSS file points to the MP3 and the XML is a subscription. So would creating an MP3 with ID3 tag done correctly and offering it for manual download be THAT much diferent. Wouldn't that be easier for people who check a single website and have no clue about podcasts but are able to play MP3 files?
I'm interested in doing something at my church. Have a sort of round table thing with the pastor and worhip lead and discus whatever we choose. Then have it available for download in MP3. We have the space and bandwidth to do it either way. I just want it to be easily accessible for people who know nothing about podcasts, but know how to listen to an MP3 file. -
For people to get it is EZ. The hard part is for you to author it. Some learning curve there.

If you find this is really popular and people suggest some automatic way of getting your next show without having to visit the site, then you can worry about "podcasting" and all the fun (not!) RSS stuff.
