Podcasting – first ideas

OK, so I want to make a podcast. I have spent far too much time over the last week looking into the whole issue of podcasting. I have looked at Adam Curry‘s site (founder of this whole podcasting idea). I have downloaded the ipodder software, and subscribed to a number of feeds so that I can receive shows when they appear. I am now signed up to 22 feeds (look on podcast net and audio.weblogs.com for lists of podcasts) – but something is wrong with the way ipodder is set up, as feeds aren’t coming through as they should be. Technologically challenged! I’ve figured out that I can make a podcast using Audacity and have downloaded that too – I’m in the middle of trying to figure out how to set up an rss feed so that people can subcribe to the podcast and download it. And that’s as far as I have got with it. Time is what is needed – oodles of it! I’m carving out what I can. In the meantime, watch this space. Or if you are a few steps ahead of me, post a comment and tell me how to get there…

Yes, there are plenty of sites with guidance but they tend to very quickly drop into geek-speak, which leaves me completely baffled. A little determination and trial and error, and we will get there.
