Podcast? It's a regular audio program you can download automatically through RSS onto your MP3 player, so you always have a fresh version. It's not a high-falootin' corporate thing at all, either. You can have your own podcast, whether you want to play music, conduct interviews, or perform comedy. The CNET Weekend Project shows you how to make your own podcast. Soon, millions will be listening to you on players such as the Cowon iAudio X5s. I guess they might call it a cowcast, but podcast still sounds better.
Ever dream of hosting your own talk show? Think you might be the next Howard Stern? Then try your hand at podcasting, the biggest thing to hit the Web since blogging. CNET will show you the tools you'll need, along with tips and tricks for making a slick, professional-sounding podcast.
Forget blogging: the hot topic right now is podcasting. If you've ever fantasized about hosting your own talk show, this is your chance.
Podcasts are recordings distributed across the Internet as downloadable MP3 files. Looking for a way to download recorded interviews to his iPod, former MTV VJ Adam Curry created a little application he called iPodder. But you don't have to have Apple's popular player to create or listen to podcasts.
All you need to start your own is a microphone, some software, and the gift of gab. In fact, most podcasts are home-brewed, even though large organizations from National Public Radio to General Motors are offering them.
