I am a big fan of podcasts and I recently relaunched my podcast. I used to think creating a podcast was a complicated process, but after helping a pastor friend create a podcast in less than a week I decided to break the process down into 7 actionable steps:

I podcast as well… I too have helped a couple guys get podcast off the ground and find the post helpful and consistent with what I’ve done before… but why don’t you recommend self-hosting the podcast? It can make it much cheaper.
Eric Dye says
True. Especially when first starting out. What do you think, Chip?
Chip Dizard says
Cheaper is good, but not always better. If your web site were to get a lot of traffic and it were to go down so would your podcast. You could host videos on your site, but you could use YouTube or Vimeo. I think your web site should be used for web traffic only. I’ve seen too many web sites go down and files lost. Plus, a third party host can be very reliable .

Ah, good point! Thanks.

I have a sermon podcast on my church website. I don’t think I went through the process of listing it with iTunes, so I should try to do that. Archive.org is a great (free) place to host your audio files. Another perk to hosting off your own server is space. Once I had about 100 sermons on my own site, my hosting plan’s space was used up! I took some time transferring everything to archive.irg and it’s worked great ever since!

Brother Chip, I know you posted this article snippet years ago but I’m wondering if you have
1) your podcast-in-a-week program files around and
2) a recording of the Webinar ‘Podcasting for Pastors’
that you might make available again.
