Podcasts and Videocasts
Whether you call yourself a podcaster, vlogger, audioblogger or any combination of the above, we get it. In fact, we're currently serving 225,390 podcasts including feeds with video (as of 9 May 08).
FeedBurner's contribution to the world of podcasting can best be described as the missing link between your creative contribution (audio or video) and its distribution to your fans at large. The format that makes this distribution possible is called a feed.
Why a Burned Feed is Better than a Not-Burned Feed
Whether you're discussing the toast you had for breakfast, debuting a new song or reporting breaking news and events, FeedBurner helps you do that better.
- Publicize your podcast and make it easy for people to subscribe.
- Optimize distribution so that your content is properly formatted for all of the major directories and can be consumed by subscribers wherever they are.
- Analyze your traffic to learn how many subscribers you have, where they're coming from and what they're downloading.
- Make Moneyitize coming in 2007! Why not make a little sumptin' sumptin' doing what you love?

"I had tried to get my Hawaiian music podcast into the iTunes music directory the very first day it launched... A fellow podcaster recommended FeedBurner so I tried it, and submitted the feed to iTMS that evening. The very next morning I received an email from Apple acknowledging my submission, and my podcast directory about an hour later. Mahalo nui (many thanks) for the great service." - Keola Donaghy, Nahenahe.Net 7/20/06
