“Feedburner reports the number of subscribers to podcasts, for which his company is managing feeds, is growing 20-30% a month.

Rick Klau, vice president, business development, said that at the beginning of the year Feedburner had 1 million subscriptions to podcasts it helped deliver. That number has now grown to 5 million subscribers for 71,000 podcasts. For you math fans, that means the average podcast has … ta da!!! … 70 subscribers.”

Podcasting is the best method for getting your message out to the world. Gone are the days when you had to tune in at a certain time. Content is now on-demand. Podcasts are created by EVERYONE, from NPR (U.S), BBC (U.K), RAI (ITALY) to Adam Currys Personal podcast or the wildly popular MACCAST (www.maccast.com).

Creating your podcast is simplicity itself. Plan your content and strategy. Record your content (Audio or Video, the sound of silence has been covered), Edit and Produce your content (Using software such as Garageband or Audacity), Publish your podcast in a website, there are commercial ventures which will take the raw produced show, wrap it in advertising and sponsorship, and publish it in their site (e.g. podshow) but this gives up control of the show, services like libsyn can provide middleware podcasting help for a recurring fee.

The greatest method to retain control, direction and subject of your podcast is to publish on your existing website.
