Good in-depth guides for starting a podcast?

I’ve been slowly working my way towards starting a podcast. I know my theme and I have ideas for the first couple episodes, but I’m looking for more in-depth guides through the technical parts of the process. I can research and find open source audio editors, I have access to a good mic setup, and I can write a script, record it, and edit it. My concern is more of the release side. I’m aware that the podcast ecosystem runs via RSS, but I’m looking for a sort of walkthrough of this last leg of the process. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Replying to an earlier post

A podcast is basically a blog with RSS feed where all the entries are audio files. So in theory you could do it that way it’s probably be a bit of a job to set up, then serving the files would take a fair bit of bandwidth (if it gets even moderately popular), encoding to something like OPUS format might help if playback support in podcast players is widespread (MP3, AAC or OGG Vorbis might be a better fallback.

The audio editor I would choose is Audacity it’s been the gold standard for a free audio recorder/editor for years.

Careful with hosted podcasting services terms and conditions they can be restrictive with what you can do with your podcast later.
