How to Publish a Podcast Without iTunes
While the content of most blogs is primarily in text or image form, a podcast shares content in audio form. Once you've created your podcast, publishing it to the Web requires finding a site to host it. Although iTunes is among the leading online destinations for streaming, downloading and listening to podcasts, you can take advantage of other free services to upload and publish your podcast if you don't want to use iTunes.
