If you have itunes, you know there are tons of podcast around on all kinds of things...
This is what I got after Googled:
Creating, promoting, and distributing your podcast to reach an online audience of possibly millions is relatively easy. You can get your podcast online in about 5 - 10 minutes. It can help to increase the audience for your business. Podcasting is becoming more popular as many bloggers turn to the internet radio shows to get their music/message out.
Steps
-
1
Determine the nature of your podcast. What will the content be? Write it down so you don't forget. Come up with an outline or some sort of organizer to keep track of what you will discuss and/or promote.
-
2
Record the audio for your podcast (Mixcraft or GarageBand are good). For a free alternative, Audacity is great too. GarageBand comes free with every Mac as part of the iLife suite.
-
3
Tag it, give it ID information (Artist, Album) and give it album art. Either make it yourself, find some free, non-copyrighted images online, or have a friend make one for you.
-
4
Save the audio file (in MP3 format) to your computer desktop. Do not use special characters (such as # or % or ?) in the file name. Open it up into your sound editor and edit out extra background noise or long periods of silence. Put in intro/outro music if necessary.
-
5
Create your RSS podcast feed. The feed must meet all industry standards for a valid 2.0 feed with enclosures. Try using a complete solution and free service such as Podblaze or Podomatic (see the external links below). The easiest way to do it is to use a blog. So hop on over to Blogger.com, or another blogging service, and start a blog with the title of your podcast. Don't make any posts just yet.

6
Put your RSS podcast feed on the Internet. Go to Feedburner and type in the URL of your blog and click "I am a podcaster!". In the next screen, configure the elements for your podcast. These are the elements that directly relate to the podcast. your feedburner feedis your podcast.
-
7
Go to OurMedia.org and sign-up there (this may take a while). Then go to your files, and upload your MP3 file.
-
8
Make a post on your blog/website - the title of the post should be the title of that episode of the podcast, and the content will end up as the "Shownotes" or the "Description". Put in a little about what you talk about in your episode. At the end of the post, put a link directly to your media file.
-
9
Wait a little. In a few minutes, Feedburner should add this to your feed, and now you have an episode! You can submit it to iTunes or a number of other podcast directories to get it known. You may want to wait, however, until you have some experience, so that your podcast will be compared as a fifth episode to another's first.
-
10
Ping the appropriate podcast directories when a new show is updated.
-
11
Put the appropriate subscription buttons on your website so people can subscribe to the RSS podcast feed.
