Found it buggy and hard to use.
ChrisMtP- Pros
- I liked the Mac-like interface. I like having your feeds in a main window easily viewable.
- Cons
- It was difficult to find the FTP settings. Hitting publish just makes the interface blink with no explanation to insert FTP or DotMac settings. I wish it was better connected with m4a files from iTunes so it will pick up my tags I already use and not have to re-enter author and keywords 2 times. While setting up FTP settings, the app crashed unexpectedly.

Developer’s Description
By Kudlian Soft
Explained simply, a Podcast is an effective method of publishing recorded talk and music through the internet, in a way that will automatically tell your listeners when your new material is available.
Podcasts can be published either locally to your hard disk, to an iDisk on a .Mac account, or to a web site through an FTP server. It will manage your podcasts publishing and removing files when they are no longer required. It supports specific iTunes Music Store tags such as images, copyright notices, categories and links to web sites.
Podcaster will also create 'enhanced podcasts', these are audio files which contain chapter markers where you can include titles, images and web links.The images in these files can be viewed on an iPod with photo capabilities. Enhanced podcasts can be created from movies, an iMovie project and even from slideshows in iPhoto. Podcaster automatically extracts the audio content in the correct format, with a configurable bit rate to save disk space, and also resizes the images to the correct format. Podcaster is ideal for anyone wishing to create podcasts for broadcasting on the Internet.
