Making a podcast is easy – relatively speaking 
The basic steps in making a podcast are:
• Plan what you’re going to be saying, to whom, how often – and most important, why.
• Record your content – which could be a mixture of you speaking, conversations and interviews. Record on anything that can capture audio in wav format. It could be direct to your PC via a built-in mic, onto a mobile phone, a minidisc, a voicemail line or a whole range of mp3 recorders.
• Edit your sound and export it as a mp3 file
• Upload your mp3 file to a server (ideally a dedicated commercial podcast hosting service which is easier and cheaper)
• Put a link to your mp3 file anywhere you like (website, emails, blogs, documents, listings etc) and distribute so people can listen
and / or
• ‘Publish’ your episodes in the form of a podcast so that listeners can use iTunes to automatically pick up content when you publish it.
• Promote your podcast – use the power of the web to let people know it’s there
