How To Podcast Using WordPress
A podcast is the next level from blogging. While blogging is conducted by pajama-clad masses of ordinary people, podcasting can be done by many of these same people, though less often in pajamas with a digital or audio recorder. The short segments are recorded and then distributed via RSS 2.0 or Atom to their websites, typically a blog site. The listeners and viewers are able to download podcasts via podcast clients. A good podcast client (for instance, Juice, CastPodder, or iTunes) can allow you to join the RSS/Atom feed of your favorite podcasters . You can automatically download the content to the computer or to a portable audio player when new podcasts are released.
The majority of podcasters make their content in MP3 or MP4 audio or video files. They then upload the files, linking to the file in an article on their blog. The users can click the link to download the content when they're not automatically subscribed to the RSS or Atom feed. The issue has not been how to upload the content onto the website however the issue is getting the content to work through the feed systems. WordPress, in most cases will automatically add new data from podcasts into your RSS/Atom feed system. This allows you to distribute content and for your users to sign up to the content.


For most people, WordPress 1.5 and above can podcast easily and automatically. If you embed the audio file in an WordPress blog post by using the complete URL, it incorporates it into the feed RSS/Atom and makes it available as an podcast. Be sure to use a full address:

Wrong: My podcast

Right: My podcast

The last step is to put an URL for your RSS/Atom feed on your page. By default, feeds are located on the bottom of the WordPress page. The link should appear like this If you're using RSS:

In earlier versions of WordPress, automated links work for only posts, and not for static pages. Since WordPress requires exact information on file size If you alter a linked file you should be certain to republish the article that has the link. If you've linked to a file that for any reason is not easily accessible from your blog the podcast will not function correctly when it's finished because WordPress will not have the proper information about the size of the file.

For Apache servers and others that utilize the .htaccess document, it is necessary to need the addition of a directive the config file or .htaccess file in order for your server's ability to identify podcast documents (m4a and m4b) correctly. You can simply add this line to the file you're using:
