I have a question for those of you who are familiar with podcasting:

My client wants to distribute podcasts from audio files she's working on right now. She uses WordPress for her websites, so I have suggested the WordPress plugin http://codex.wordpress.org/Podcasting.

She also wants to know how one distributes podcasts - are there distribution outlets like what TubeMogul does for videos? From a cursory search, I understand that one submits podcasts to directories, like www.podcastdirectory.com similarly to a website/blog submission.

I am on the right path here? If anyone knows of a compiled listing of podcast distribution sites, I'd love love to see it. And any suggestions or correctiosn would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Upon further research, I'm looking at a service called PodBean for podcast hosting. Anyone have experience with podbean or others they'd like to share?

I found a great directory list from Voices.com for some podcast directories, in addition to iTunes.

Hi Crystal,

Podbean is a good alternative to Wordpress if you are looking for an all-in-one easy to manage package. Another comparable service is Libsyn.

I host my podcasts on my own Wordpress.org blog and use a podcast plugin. A quick search in the Wordpress plugin directory for podcast yielded these results:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/....php?q=podcast

In terms of podcast directories, the list you found on Voices.com (http://www.voices.com/podcasting/pod...rectories.html) is a good one. Another place you would probably like to submit the podcasts to is iTunes (which you already noted )

I have not found a site that I like that submits your podcast to multiple directories at once. They are out there though.

There is a site like TubeMogul called Traffic Geysar that does allow you to submit to a handful of video sites and in addition to podcast directories, but I honestly do not think the price for the Traffic Geysar service is worth it.
