Church podcasting - How to set up a church podcast

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

In church today we are starting to embrace modern day technology. Gone are the days of overhead projectors in most churches. Churches have started to see the benefit of recording ministry and getting the congregation to study it.

For some churches the thought of podcasting can seem daunting. I have put together a step by step guide to podcasting for the church.

Which software to use

Garageband - It comes with the Apple operating system.

Audacity - Free download and is very easy to use.

Once it recorded what to do with it next?

Once you have the sermon or message in mp3 format then you need to publish it to the web. You need to create a rss feed so that the podcast directories and stores like itunes can pick it up.

I use a custom made software that does alot of all my online marketing for me.. but for a church to invest in that initially is probably not the best course of action.

I would say go over to feedburner and sign up for a free podcast rss link.

You publish your mp3 to your feed and then the feed readers like itunes will pick it up.

If you need help and all this is confusing you then contact me for further assistance.

Here are a couple of articles I found that may be of interest.
