How to Create a Podcast With Drupal
By default, Drupal does not support podcasts or the uploading of other embedded media. However, using modules from the Drupal repository and creating a new custom node type, you can create podcasts on your Drupal sites, complete with the audio player. When users visit the link for the specific podcast, they'll be able to listen to your uploaded MP3 from their browser windows, without opening an external media player.
