This short tutorial is intended to teach you how to take your existing podcast feed and get it listed in iTunes. You will need to know the url of your podcast feed in order to execute this maneuver, so find it before you start. Frequently the form of the feed will be rss.xml but that isn’t always the case. You will also need to have an Apple ID – this is the free ID you use in order to buy music, movies and TV shows through the iTunes store. If you don’t have an Apple ID you can also use an AOL login.
