Want to Learn How to Podcast for Easily and for FREE? With little background knowledge or technical expertise, this article will easily teach you how to easily get your podcast on itunes without paying a dime!
You can send the feed to iTunes but it won't contain any (XML) information about the podcast. You'll need to send the BLOG feed through another program called "FEEDBURNER". www.feedburner.com. it's a service that Google offers to create information for podcasts. Send your feed from your blog into feedburner and then feedburner will create a NEW FEED to submit to iTunes.
Start a blog. You will be posting the (url/web address) of the MP3 file to your blog. So each post will be a separate podcast. A blog has a built in feed which sends out to services like iTunes. Go to www.blogger.com or www.wordpress.com to start your blog.

Itunes: to view and submit your feed from feedburner
Audacity: to record your MP3's (LAME to convert files to MP3's)
