This howto will explain in short how to make and howto receive podcasted media

First of all, we need an mp3 file including the content we want to offer on podcast, depending on what you want either encode something, record something or download something... for our test cast ill name the media "test.mp3".

Next we will create an rss file, this file is like an xml page including information on the media we want to show to the ppls that try to get the file from us...

here is a simple example of an rss file, just change it to reflect your information:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
      <title>My Program</title>
http://www.mywebsite.com/test.mp3;
      <description>My first podcast</description>
      <language>en-us</language>
      <copyright>2005</copyright>
      <lastBuildDate>Todays Date</lastBuildDate>
      <webMaster>youremail@whatever.com</webMaster>
      <ttl>1</ttl>
      <item>
        <title>Todays Radio Show - Monday</title>
        <description>Heres my Monday podcast. Hope you like it.</description>
        <pubDate>Todays Date </pubDate>
        <enclosure url=" http://www.mywebsite.com/myaudio.mp3"; length="4834743" type="audio/mpeg" />
      </item>
   </channel>
</rss>

just put the rss file on your page, and thats it.

Now download and install a current version of wxPython.

then go to:

ipodder.sourceforge.net

and start the program, its pretty self explanatory, select the podcast you want to download an mp3 from, choose the mp3, and click on the download icon, thats it.

i hope this helped you some further, yours oliver.
