You need a podcast RSS feed to submit your podcast to iTunes and other podcast directories.

You’ll typically get your RSS feed from your podcast hosting company or from your own website if you use something like Squarespace or the PowerPress plugin for WordPress.

Another option to consider are lavalier microphones. They clip to your shirt, making them hands-free which can be very useful.
