Podcasting isn't just reserved for MP3 players anymore. While some bloggers still rely upon uploading a file and linking to it on their site, others are taking their blogs to the next level by embedding the podcast in their site. This procedure used to require intimate knowledge of code and copious amounts of your own bandwidth. However, none of this is necessary. There are now services that host your podcast as well as generate the code needed to embed it to your blog.

1
Sign up for a podcast hosting account. Podcasts can take up lots of bandwidth and spike your monthly hosting costs. Hosting your podcast off site is an easy fix for this problem. Podbean.com hosts your podcast either for free or for a small fee depending on if you want extra services like unlimited bandwidth. MyPodcast.com gives unlimited bandwidth for free, but at the sacrifice of inserting ads into your podcast. Look at your bandwidth needs, then weigh the benefits of free unlimited bandwidth with ads against free limited bandwidth or paid bandwidth without ads.
