I'd like to request this too. I think this can be used somehow inconjuction with vB's RSS/XML functionality. If a [private] forum is created for the feed, the url would be
http://www.domain.com/forums/externa...rss&forumids=8.
The only difference between a blog and a podcast as far as the RSS is that Podcasts are linked through <enclosure> tags, such as
Code:
<enclosure url="http://domain.com/path/to/file.mp3" length="37963779" type="audio/mpeg"/>
Length is the file size in bytes.
I would think the files can optionally be attached within the post, but they can be upwards of 40MB, so FTP might be a better option.
A good tutorial on creating RSS (includes info on the enclosure tag) is at

And as a side-note, I always run RSS feeds like
http://www.domain.com/forums/externa...rss&forumids=8 through FeedBurner and advertise that output. vB's output isn't the greatest.
