There are three basics steps you’ll need to take
1. Create the podcast.
2. Go to a hosting site and upload the podcast
there for the purpose of getting an RSS feed
assigned to it.
3. Go to the iTunes store and submit the
podcast so that others can find it there.

1. Create a Podcast
Create a podcast using Garage Band (Mac iLife software),
audacity, or even the Podomatic site itself. The podcast is in
the mp4 format.

2. Get an RSS feed for the podcast
Go to the Podomatic site to upload the already created podcast. If you
like, you can create the podcast right there as well. My objective for
visiting this site is to get an RSS feed for my podcast. I’ll need that to
get the podcast onto iTunes where others can find and listen to it.
It could also be put onto a website for others to hear.
The following slides will show two videos of how you
Can accomplish the above.

Here you can see that iTunes will send you an e-mail notification
that your podcast has been successfully submitted. They include a
direct link to it so you can immediately view it, although it won’t
actually be in the iTunes index for others to listen to for a few days.
Congratulations on a job well done!
