In the March issue of Wired magazine: Adam Curry Wants to Make You an iPod Radio Star.
Also in the March issue is this little nugget by Paul Boutin. It’s not online (though should be); it’s on page 131:
Podcasting at a glance
How it works:
1. The podcaster records a show as an audio file.
2. Then, he adds a hyperlink for the show to an RSS feed on a Web server.
3. The listener’s podcast software checks RSS feeds at set intervals, downloading and adding new shows to a playlist.
4. When the listener docks his portable player, it updates with the latest shows.
How to get it.
To download podcasts to any portable (not just the iPod), start with the right software. Wired’s pick: iPodder.
How to make your own podcast:
1. Plug a USB headset with earphone and microphone into your computer.
2. Install the free Audacity MP3 recorder for Windows, Mac or Linux. Make a recording, then save it as an MP3 file.
3. Upload the MP3 file to your Web site or blog. Follow the instructions at ipodder.org to create an RSS feed on your site.
What’s next
Ourmedia (ourmedia.org), a grassroots media project backed by the Internet Archive, will provide free podcasting tools and permanent hosting for podcasts beginning in mid-2005. Also, broadcasters such as the Canadian Broadcasting Company, BBC and NPR are currently experimenting with podcasting.
Oh, yes. Ourmedia will provide free hosting for audio files sooner than mid-2005. Much sooner.
As it happens, today’s San Jose Merc ran a story by Michael Bazeley, Sports-talk providers get in on podcast game, that contained a sidebar: How to tune into a podcast.
1. Download software that reads RSS 2.0 feeds with enclosed audio files from sites like www.iPodderX.com for Macs, or iPodder.NET for PCs.
2. This software automatically downloads audio files to your computer and moves the tracks to iTunes or other music management software for transfer to your iPod or another digital music player.
3. Subscribe to the feeds you want. Sites such as www.iPodder.org, www.iPodder.net, www.Podcasters .org or www.Podcast.net are good places to start your search. Your computer does the rest. It will automatically search for the latest podcasts and move the audio files into iTunes or other media jukebox software.
4. Synchronize your iPod or other portable digital music player with the computer to transfer the podcast.
5. If your media-management software doesn’t automatically download the podcast to your digital music player, you can drag the audio file directly into the player, as you would any MP3 music track..

J.D., your link above to ourmedia is password protected. What’s up with that? Any chance of getting me or some of my journalism students inside the tent?
Ah! Sorry … it wasn’t password-protected until a few days ago. (There was a standing cover page instead.)
We should lift the veil in a few days. Hang on tight, should happen soon.
