It's like an audio blog entry/journal article that others download and listen to.

i actually want to start one too...but that's the part i also don't understand

from what i gather...you make an xml (rss) page with the info of each podcast. you name the current mp3 youre linking to current.mp3 so an aggregator (such as itunes) can find it from the same link by checking the date on the rss file. then i suppose you rename each one with the date to archive it on your site.
can anyone confirm this?

ok, so more clarification i suppose.
you submit a feed url (http://www.domain.com/podcast/podcast.xml)
you update the podcast.xml file whenever you upload a new podcast to your server, and the aggregator looks at the publish date and directs subscribers to it. i suppose at that point for archiving purposes you can link to old mp3 files on your server, but those wont be rss files.
now ill want to learn how to stream live, then upload it as rss.
