Anyone have a source for encoding a finished audio file so it can be
distributed as a podcast?

Thanks,

I tried to find out at the NAB show just what a "podcast" is, even
from an exhibitor who was making eqipment specifically for podcasting.
I still don't know what's different (in concept) from any other
downloadable or streaming audio technology. I've been listening to
"the radio" over the Internet for quite some time now. How is a
podcast different, other than that it's typically informal, more like
listening to a blog.

just the other night I was listening to podcasts off of itunes. Worked
fine. I assumed the meaning of a podcast was one created using an iPod.
Can you record straight to an iPod? I think so. I also assumed the
phenomena's buzz was based on their also being a ton of iPod so the
name for just making your own distributable broadcast was taken from
the most iconic format. I also assumed it was in the ACC format. I
still don't know what RSS is really. Some kind of streaming scripting
stuff?
