Most of us have at least a vague sense, if not a solid understanding of what a podcast is, though this, like everything else in information delivery spheres, is in a constant state of change. Podcasting, in a brilliant illustration of this phenomenon, quickly moved from voice-only to video podcasting (though both maintain strengths in certain areas).
As I think the quality of a podcast truly lies in the production, I will look for a solid yet simple digital video production resource for a future posting. For now, let's focus on the nuts-and-bolts of how to create and publish a video podcast.
A pretty good (in that it keeps thing simple), though slightly dated resource can be found at streaming media http://www.streamingmedia.com/article.asp?id=9314
While this tutorial is rather mac-centric, the sense of process remains the same, and pc's are given some press time, too.

I don't know if you've checked out Adobe Audition, for podcasting (audio only). We used Audition for class- Multimedia Productions. It's not cheap, unless you're using the 30 day trial which is free of course, but the benefit of Audition is that you can mix tracks as complicatedly or uncomplicatedly as you want. It also lets you build a noise reduction profile, which is great, since most of us don't have the sort of microphone that allows for really good quality recording.
Hi jenna. I am familiar with AAud, but have simply used other software because of some instrument recording I goof around with. I am in love with Garage Band right now, as it is complex enough for a huge segment of the population to create truly outstanding sonic offerings, yet simple enough to actually allow said population to use it (not that AAud isn't, but GBand is packaged with any Mac, so it has the feeling of free :) I should look into AAud a little more though, as it really seems like a standard in certain circles.
