Good Knowledge Is Good2Use

Once you've got your file hosted, you can use RSS to allow users to subscribe to a regular download of your podcast. Creating and uploading an RSS feed (which essentially is a simple string of text that allows you to announce your podcast to the world) lets folks know that you've posted a new show, what it's about, who it's by, and a link to the corresponding MP3. You can create this file in a number of ways. The free ways are to do it yourself, you'll need to know XML though.
By using the free podcast RSS-feed generator at TD Scripts.com, or by using the generator available to Ourmedia users. Generators are also part of third-party software apps such as Propaganda, ePodcast Producer, as well as some fee-based hosting services.

Before you announce your podcast to the world, use an RSS validation service to test the syntax of your RSS feed. If it reports an error, you'll have to go back into the RSS file, correct it, and upload it again.

After you've tested the RSS feed and found that it is in working order, you're good to go! There's nothing between your podcast and your potential Internet audience. Take the RSS link, share it with friends, and begin spreading your show to wider audiences by submitting your link to podcast directories such as iPodder.org or iTunes and promoting it on sites such as Podcast Alley and the Podcast Directory.
