Words about sound new from the Quick Blog team. Quick Podcast.
Greetings and "audio" salutations,
Quick Blog now has a louder sibling with the release of Quick Podcast our new podcast hosting application. What’s a podcast? I like to describe it as “Tivo® for your radio” Podcasting is a way of notifying subscribers to the feed that a new program is available for their attention.
Sounds like blogging for sound? Yes and no. While podcasts use the same syndication method, RSS2.0, as the majority of blogs there’s as many reasons for podcasting as there are for blogging. While podcasting takes a little, and I do mean a little, more skill than creating a blog entry the addition of a podcast to your blog ( where else where they going to discuss your show?) it adds a whole new element to how you communicate with your subscribers.
Examples of podcasts
If your message is compelling all you need is a microphone to start you most likely have one with your PC or your MP3 player may have a record feature that’s been itching to get used.

You can imbed audio in quickblog...just use the 'insert file feature' it works...should be advertised
Greetings,
You are correct that you can use Quickblog in this manner but you would give up a lot by doing so. The resulting feed would by missing a lot of information and the plans are not set up in terms of diskspace and bandwidth to serve anything approaching a regular podcast.
We do draw attention to this feature on our landing page but it's not heavily advertised due to the limitations of using this method.
