Podcasting Questions from the Pitch Group

Here's a list of questions about podcasting that came up at the Jan. 11 NYC Pitch Group meeting. Any other areas of murkiness or mystery missing from the list below?

1. MP3, Mp4, compression... So how do you make a podcast anyway? Can I have a step-by-step set of instructions please?
   
   
2. Distribution - Once you make your podcasts how do you get them out there? What are the steps for making it appear on Itunes, other distribution outlets or a website?
   
   
3. How do I set up an Rss feed? And what is an rss feed anyway?
   
   
4. How do I get *my podcast to be one of the top rated casts?
   
   
5. Money - how do I make some by podcasting? What do people charge? Should I charge by the hour, by the project?
   
   
6. How is podcasting different then standard radio?
   
   
7. Legalese - the law is different for podcasting then it is for radio right? What does it say? What are my rights? What can I do with podcasting that I can't do in radio?
   
   
8. Listeners. They're out there right? So how and when do they listen? Why don't they listen more?
   
   
9. Who podcasts? Do the satellite stations podcast?
   
   
10. Video. Talk to me about those moving pictures. Should I worry about video?
