Who
Who am I? I'm Dave Jackson and I've been podcasting since 2005. I have a bachelor's degree in Education specializing in techncial education, and I feel I can explain anything in terms that make it easy to digest.
Who should Podcast? Anybody with passion for a subject and wants to reach the world
What?
What is a podcast? It's an audio, video, or PDF file delivered via RSS
What is RSS? It stands for real simple syndication. In the same way that every radio station has its own frequency, a blog running WordPress (which is a free software program that allows you to update your website and pdocast at the time) has its own RSS feed automatically.

Podcasting started in 2004, and the numbers have grown every year. When should you start one?

How?
How much does it cost to start a podcast? Around $200 if you're going to do it right (one time fee). About $20 a month after that. Keep in mind this is to reach a global audience.
