Can we talk here?
Today, I began my entry into Podcasting with ION's first episode of Frontiers of Distance Education. While the process of recording audio and putting it on the Internet isn't that hard, it still takes a lot of time to edit the audio together, create necessary openings and voice over narrations, and get the audio volume correct. What really takes time though, and what seems left out from presentations is how much time it can take to code the xml for syndicating the feed. There aren't really any good free software packages out there that I could find to generate the xml automatically from a database. Also, I'm still figuring out how to get the podcast into iTunes. So while it is in principle rather simple, don't expect to get everything up in a few minutes unless you are using an external host service and pay software.
