Podcasting from WordPress

“At a technical level, a podcast feed is just a normal RSS or
Atom feed that includes a link to a media file inside an tag. When
you compose a post, you can attach a media file (audio or video)
from within the post editor, and WordPress will automatically
create the enclosure. But all an RSS subscriber or visitor to your
site will see is a generic hyperlink in the body of your post, not
in-browser player that lets them enjoy your insights and
witticisms.

And that post will be mingled in with the rest of your content
— not a bad option if you are using your WordPress
installation exclusively for your show, but awkward if you want to
do both, and ultimately unfriendly towards listeners who want to
subscribe with their audio player.
