How To Podcast Using WordPress
The next step is podcasting. It's the step from blogging. While blogging is done by an army of pajama-clad individuals, podcasting is carried out by a lot of these people, although less often in pajamas, behind a computer recording device or an audio player. Podcasts are short pieces of content recorded and later distributed via RSS 2.0 or Atom on their website generally a blog. Viewers and listeners can download podcasts through podcast clients. A good podcast client (for example, Juice, CastPodder, or iTunes) will allow users to sign up to the RSS/Atom feeds of your favorite podcasters and instantly download the podcast content to the computer or to a portable audio player whenever new content becomes available.

The majority of podcasters make their content as MP3 or MP4 video or audio files. They then upload the files, linking to the file in the blog post. Users can then click the link to download their content if they're not automatically subscribed to the RSS/Atom feed. The problem has never been in uploading the content to the web page, but in getting the content to function through feed systems. WordPress usually, will automatically include new podcasting data in your RSS/Atom feeds. This makes it simple for you to deliver content and for your users to sign up to that content.

For most users, WordPress 1.5 and above can podcast conveniently and instantly. If you embed the audio file within the body of a WordPress blog post, using the full URL address, it adds it to the feed RSS/Atom and makes it usable as an podcast . Be sure to utilize a complete address.

Your final step is to place an URL for your RSS or Atom feed on your website. The feeds are located on the bottom of the WordPress page. The feeds link should look like this in case you're using RSS

In the earlier versions of WordPress the automated links functioned for posts only, but not in static websites. Since WordPress needs to maintain accurate file size information in case you modify an uploaded file, you should be sure to update the blog post that contains the link. In the event that you've hyperlinked to a document that has any reason to not be easily accessible from your blog the podcast will not function correctly when it's finished because WordPress doesn't have the right file size information.

For Apache servers as well as other servers which use to use the .htaccess files, you'll have to add a directive the configuration files or .htaccess file to allow servers to be able to detect podcast file formats (m4a and m4b) properly. It's as easy as adding this line to the file you're using:
