There is an easier way (shameless plug coming). I have been doing it the hard way for 2 years… the same way you described… Then I got sick of it and built http://www.portablesermons.com

Upload, title, done. We do the rest. It is now THE EASIEST way to podcast your sermon… oh, and 1 a week is FREE!

The church I attend records onto CD and then I take them and compress them into mp3s at home and upload them. Unfortunately, the original quality isn’t great on the CDs and when compressing them I try to keep the size down so I compress them pretty hard. The hour long sermons generally turn out to weigh in at around 8MB.

The sound is ok for spoken word but the level seems too low when I lower the bitrate of the mp3.

Do you have any advice on compression settings to keep the downloads small and quick?

On an unrelated note, I see you use Wordpress. I wrote a plugin for it if you’d like to check it out:

[...] If you haven’t yet heard of Cory’s blog, Church Communications Pro, you must not read Micah Fries’ blog. Corey will get you up to speed on all things technical. My favorite post so far is his primer on how to podcast your sermons. Good stuff. [...]

Cory,

Awesome article! I wanted to let you know about Gabcast (http://www.gabcast.com/). For those withour a digital recorder, you can record anything over the phone and the site will convert it to an mp3 which you can link to or download.

Thanks,
George

Hey:

Thanks for the podcasting tips. I have recently implemented a Christian Podcast, and am about to start my own weekly program using your ideas…

God Bless,

David

Chad, follow these steps in the post … it’s that easy. Follow the steps, set up a free blog and let Feedburner do the rest.

Good evening. I have searched and searched and I cannot figure out how to make out webpage a podcast. There is no problem for those who don’t mind manually downloading the MP3s. However, how do I set it up so that someone can automatically download newly available messages? Help me, I am lost!
