Make Podcasts, Find Podcasts, Store Podcasts, Add Them To Your Web Site

Gcast Podcasting is a site that lets you create and store podcasts. If you have podcasts that you like and want to listen to again and again or add to your Web site that you can use Gcast to store them. Using code from Gcast you can even add your podcasts to your Web site.

Add podcasts from the net that have been created by other people to your podcast playlist if you want to. If you'd rather, you can create your own podcasts and then upload them to your podcast playlist. You can even record a podcast right from your cell phone directly to your podcast playlist. Then create other podcast playlists from your master podcast playlist.

There are a couple different ways to add a podcast to your Gcast site:

• Upload - If you already have an audio file on your computer that you want to add to your podcast site you can upload it using Gcast's upload tool. This only takes a minute and is really easy to use.

• GarageBand.com - From your Gcast podcast page you can go to GarageBand.com and download music created by emerging artists. When you find the music you want to add to your Gcast podcast playlist just click "Add to playlist" next to the song.

Creating your own podcasts can also be done a couple different ways:

• Add By Phone - There's a toll free number listed on the Gcast Web site. Just call that number and start recording.

• Upload and Audio File - All your favorite audio files can be added to your Gcast podcast playlist. Just upload them and add them.

• Audacity - Use audio production software like Audacity. Audacity makes creating your own audio files easy.
