Podcast Maker: Better Than A Soda

Posted by Tucker MacDonald on 02/11/07 in Applications, Development, Music

Podcast Maker, is the best podcast publishing software for a serious podcaster. With many powerful features and an easy to use interface, Podcast Maker is the only tool you will ever need to to create a podcast.

What does Podcast Maker do? It creates an RSS feed for your podcast so you can have listeners/viewers subscribe to it using iTunes or a RSS reader. Creating an RSS feed manually can be a drag, this is where Podcast Maker comes in. Once you have the file of your episode (mp3, m4a, mov, mp4, m4v, pdf,) you simply add it into Podcast Maker add in your details then hit ‘Publish.’ You may publish your podcast many different ways: .Mac, FTP, SFTP, and local folder.

Podcast Maker even support enhanced podcasts (screenshot above). “Add chapters with images and links to your podcast. With enhanced podcasts your audience will be able to see what you are talking about, and visit the websites that you are talking about with the click of their mouse. This is a great way to podcast a lecture or presentation. Podcast Maker is considered by many to be the best enhanced podcast creator.”

Another great feature that Podcast Maker shows off is ‘preview.’ This feature is quite simple, it is just a preview of a page of the iTunes Store that your podcast would be on. It is really nice to see how your podcast will look once you submit it to iTunes through Podcast Maker.

Podcast Maker costs $29.95 USD and is available here.

I love the fact that it makes an RSS feed for you. But can you record in the program or not? If so, it may be worth $30. If not, it’s not worth $30 IMO.

The podcast maker icon is a soda can. Other than that, not really sure about the title. You can’t record in the program, but if you have GarageBand, you really don’t need it too. I’ve heard it’s good for enhanced podcasts, as is GarageBand, and if you want to manage your own feed and not use a service like Feedburner, this is a good app to do it with, allthough Feeder may be better.
