How do I get my podcast into iTunes? Why am I asking that? Well since my last post I’ve thought about how this site can progress from the normal bloggin’ experience to a more content rich site. Then it came to me, “Why don’t I create a podcast?”
Naturally most people would be thinking why do a podcast Addam? And what have you got to talk about? But before I even thought about that I had visions of becoming the next Ricky Gervais of the podcast world. This then posed the thought how do I get my podcast into iTunes? I mean it’s the only place to be if you want the world to hear your voice.
Luckily Apple have published a technical document about how to submit your podcast to iTunes. The document has six different areas:
- Submission and Feedback Processes
- An Example Feed
- iTunes RSS Tags
- Common Mistakes
- Additional Resources
- iTunes Categories for Podcasting
I haven’t looked at them closely at all but it all seems pretty straight forward (fingers crossed). There is though an alternative for people who just have a voice and an idea. JellyCast is a company that hosts your podcast, letting you publish and transmit audio files across the world via thier service. JellyCast provide the support you need to upload, publish and broadcast your own podcast. Above all of this though Ricky Gervais uses this service as well and the network won a Guinness World Record for podcasting the Ricky Gervais podcast.
The two areas I’m looking to go in to are my poorly mixed sessions and of course me talking about rubbish. So there could be some podcasting coming here, but I won’t be doing it for a while yet. First thing first though, I need to redesign this website/blog.
