i read through this page http://radio.about.com/od/podcastin1/a/aa030805a.htm

to me it's very straight foward, but i have one question about how they work. like don't you subscribe to a podcast feed so you can get new mp3 publications with the podcast as they come out. so if i have a RSS file that bassicaly tells about the corresponding mp3 file, how does the "subscriber" get dibs on other mp3s that go along with the whole "podcasting" radio/server/thing

The software should download the mp3 file linked to in the RSS data automatically.

i understand the RSS stuff but arent podcasts like a series of mp3s

like i might have a podcast radio station featuring different shows ive had in mp3 format.

ie

show1.mp3
show2.mp3
show3.mp3

and so on

so like how do they just sign up for my "podcasts" so they can get each show as they come out/when they desire to get them

that kind of stuff

You provide a link to the RSS feed.

so bassicaly i just setup a website for my podcast station and just have a bunch of links on it to a bunch of RSS files (for each of the mp3s)

There might be some special syntax. Google it.
