Producing a podcast can be as simple as installing recording software on your computer, plugging a microphone into a computer, recording your voice and uploading it through one of many podcast directories. Companies, including Disney, Volvo, and BusinessWeek, are leading the corporate world with high-quality professionally produced shows.

Producers post shows via a syndicator. The listener’s podcatching software, such as iTunes or iPodder, is set to check for new shows and download them to the listener’s playlist as new shows are posted.

When users dock their portable players or go online to view their playlist, the latest episode automatically appears. Users can then listen to them on a personal media player or computer. Some listeners copy podcasts to a CD and play them on their home or car stereo.

What is podcasting anyway?

The Internet is spawning a communications revolution that has far reaching global implications for the media, marketers and advertisers.

It’s the invasion of the podcasters.

Here is what podcasting is and why it matters.

A podcast is a web feed of audio or video files that you can download and listen or view at your convenience on a personal media player (such as an iPod), computer, DVD player, or CD player.

Listeners don’t have to remember to visit the sites they are interested in to get the latest posting. Instead, they can subscribe (usually at no charge) to the ones they want. Their podcatcher software will periodically download the latest postings or episodes.

In the podcast universe, distribution distinguishes this medium: You don’t have to rely on your audience to check back for new content that you post. Once they have added your “show” to their playlist, they’ll automatically receive it each time you post a new episode. In other words, it’s much like choosing which programs you want to record on your TIVo.

And personal media players fit the lifestyle of people on the go by being small and portable. It’s a way for corporate marketers to extend their content distribution beyond their audience’s desktop computer. Listeners can access your content on their commute, in the gym, or while sitting in the airport.
