Podcasting - what's involved?

I've been asked by a client to set up so  he can do a podcast every week or so.  I'm a bit worried about this because he's not too computer literate,, so i need to take away all the technical stuff for him and make it as idiot-proof as possible. What's the best route to take for me on this do you think?  Where should I go to learn what i need to do? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month

Mike, Is he using a Mac or a PC? What OS version is he using? Thank you, David. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Depends on his intentions.  I use a combination of Ray Camden's Blog + FeedBurner (better tracking of RSS and some built in traffic tracking) + TalkShoe.com TalkShoe basically creates a VoIP conference call for every Talkcask. The owner schedules the recording and then calls in using either a phone, the "ShoePhone" (a java based VoIP phone) or some other VoIP client.  The recording is stored on TalkShoe's servers and they promote talkcasts with "what's live now" and "coming up.' Additionally, listeners can call in and join in on the call, join in a text chat and leave comments and reviews. If that's too much for him, you might also look into GCast.com.  It's also phone based but instead of being a conference call where people can join in, it's you and a phone recorder ;) Good luck!

Have him upload a WAV/MP3, then just wrap it in the RSS-like XML (that's all a podcast URL is). -- Tom Chiverton Helping to dynamically transform efficient communities on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
