Am sure if you have been using the internet from some time, you would have already come across the term Podcast. The reason being, its been such a great resource to improve your website’s reader base and effectiveness. In case you are already doing podcasts for your blog – Great! I personally feel if any of you aren’t using this powerful method – start doing podcasts and thank me later J
What is a Podcast?
A podcast is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and often downloaded through web syndication often called as feeds. These podcasts could be posted under a dedicated category of your blog so that its easily accessible for your users.
To enable start doing podcasts on your blog, I would like to share the best plugins that are available on the web.
- PodPress – Most famous plugin for podcasting using wordpress (less frequently updated now a days)
- PowerPress – New Kid in the row, but you should check out this one, its good too.
- Or directly post your audio podcasts using the Audio player plugin for wordpress (this is the most light weight option)
Cool article!! Thanks for sharing Josh

Josh,
Have a question here – How to configure pod casts into the feeds? does that automatically take the podcasts from your regular blog feeds ?
Aaron
Hey Aaron,
Nope, it does not automatically take from your blog feeds – what you have to do is go to feedburner.com login and there is an option that says " burn a feed" select the option and put in the podcast category url and check the box that says "am a podcaster" thats how you add podcasts to feeds.
cheers
Josh
