What Is Podcasting?
Podcasting is a term that describes a way for you to post audio content to a website
so your listeners can easily access it. Generally, listeners subscribe to and download
the audio content from the internet and save the files to their computer the same way
they would record a TV show on a VHS or DVD recorder. The listener can then use a
computer or MP3 player to play back the content.

The basis of a podcast is an MP3 file. In order to transform a simple MP3 file into
a podcast, you must use an XML text file technology called RSS (Really Simple
Syndacation). The RSS text file links to the MP3 file to include information about the date
the podcast was recorded, the title of the podcast, and the description of the recording.
This enables listeners to use various software applications to look for new RSS text files
and automatically download the newest episode of their favorite podcasts.

After you have installed the Podcast Factory recording interface, it is time to connect
the M-Audio Broadcast Microphone. Plug the three-slot female end of the included
microphone cable into the bottom of the mic, making sure to match the 3 pins of the
mic with the 3 slots of the cable. After the mic is connected to the cable, turn down
all the levels of the Podcast Factory recording interface and then plug the other end
of the cable into the back of the recording interface. You may now connect speakers
or headphones to the recording interface as well. Next, we will begin installing the
software that comes in the Podcast Factory. Each software title has a specific function in
podcast creation that will be explained here.
