I just listened to an excellent podcast on how to create and post podcasts (how recursive is that?) by Lisa Williams and Ryanne Hodson from BlogHer 2005. If you’re interested in getting started with podcasting, this short (56 mins) essay will tell you the high points and give you advice on products that can get you started. The good news: turnkey software is on the way that will make the process of creating and posting podcasts much easier. The bad news: it’s still a pretty daunting task if you’re not technically inclined.

Lisa Williams also has a fun four-minute how-to video about podcasting that you should watch.
