How about creating ogg files. People can point-n-click and listen to ogg 
files. Why on earth use podcast files if you cannot actually create usable 
links to them?

All standard Linux systems support the ogg file format. Most support Mp3 
files and some also support Real Media files.

But "podcast"??? What Linux programme plays those?
