Hey guys, I'm looking for advice on what is the best way to set up a Podcast for free. I've been looking into several popular solutions like Libsyn and Podomatic but they both charge for bandwidth and hosting which I really don't need since I'll be hosting the files on another server.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Thanks man, does it let you host your files in an external server instead of using theirs?

Yeah, I looked into that one but it only has 800MB of storage and a monthly bandwidth of 5GB. I'm kind of expecting a lot of traffic so I don't think that would be the best solution.

But thanks for replying

Just find one of those cheap over sold hosting places and then write the podcast xml file yourself.

Podcast = XML playlist + mp3 file... its not rocket science.

I know, but it's really not THAT simple to write the xml file.

Thanks man, I had already seen that one but it's kind of a pain in the ass because you have to update it manually every time you add a new file. There are sites that take care of this automatically...all you have to do is upload the file and not worry about anything else. The only thing I need is a site that lets me use my own server and bandwidth.

Look for some sort of script you can deploy yourself then on your own server, or an application that can run on your computer to generate the file for upload.

I Googled "Podcast generator" and got this: http://podcastgen.sourceforge.net/

Awesome find mate, will definitely look into that
