Supported file types for an iTunes podcast are: .m4a, .mp3, .mov, .mp4, .m4v, and .pdf. More info here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/spec... Honestly, the way to get a feed of only audio files is to only add audio files to the feed. (Posterous doesn't have post categories, so you can't make a feed from a category. It does have tags, but it's not letting me make a feed from tag.)

Thanks jaledwith,
What happens if you send other content? Will it all appear in iTunes? Is there a way of getting a feed of just audio files?

The page on Posterous that is generated by all your emailed posts has an RSS feed just like any blog. The default is youraddress.posterous.com/feed. On this site it's podcast.fsunavigators.org/feed.

You can pump that feed into iTunes and subscribe to it there. I've submitted our feed to iTunes and now it can be found by searching the iTunes Music Store. One thing Posterous does not yet offer is a direct link that will allow visitors of the site to subscribe to the feed in iTunes. Personally, I'm hoping Posterous adds FeedBurner integration. Feedburner provides a direct link to iTunes and a lot more.

Good questions. Hope I was able to answer them for you.

There are a few things this doesn't address:

Can you have an RSS feed of just recordings?
Can you subcribe to it in iTunes or similar?

Otherwise it's just a page with recording on it.

Cheers.

That's cool! The Gmail 25mb barrier is a bit unfortunate, but it's so streamlined!

I think the best thing is you can train someone else to do this in 10 minutes. Last time I set up a podcast I was teaching the person to be an XML haxor…
