How assign post as "podcast"
-
WordPress.com directions for creating a podcast say, “Create a new post and assign it to the Podcasts category”
I can’t figure out how to do this.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi there,
Please see https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/podcasting/ -
I get it now, I had to create “Podcasts” as a category first, it is not built into the posting options.
Thanks!

Another question: directions say, “From your WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings > Media. Under the Podcasting section, choose your podcast category, our case, we choose Podcasts.”
But I don’t see a “Podcasting section”. Will that be there after I publish a post as a podcast category, or should I be able to see it now?
Thanks

The category you assign to the posts will appear here http://asmruniversity.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category after you publish the post. The next time you create a post you will be able to select it in the post editor as well.

See this page at the very bottom also http://asmruniversity.com/wp-admin/options-media.php

Sorry, unclear.
Directions say to go to Settings, then Media, and then there is a “Podcasting section”. I don’t see this when I follow those directions. Is there something that should already say “podcasting section” that is built into wordpress?, will this appear after I publish a podcast post, or is this term being used as a reference statement to something else?
Please explain what “podcasting section” refers to when I click “Settings” then “Media”.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you! Somehow I kept ending up in “Media Library”.
Yes, I see it now.
Thank you for your quick and helpful assistance!

The instructions now seem quite clear and the process seems less daunting.
You have brought me a large step forward to creating my first podcast.
Some additional questions:
– Is there a audio/podcast file size limitation?
– Are there any additional fees with podcasting with my current account?
– Are there monthly bandwidth limits?Thanks again for any further assistance with this.

What I know about podcasting would be lonely on the head of a pin. All I know is here https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/podcasting/

Dear Staff,
Here are my unanswered questions about using wordpress.com as a podcast hosting site (I have a Premium account).
Questions:
– Is there an audio/podcast file size limitation for each podcast?
– Are there any additional fees with podcasting with my current account? (I have Premium)
– Are there monthly bandwidth limits?Thank you.

Are there monthly bandwidth limits?
There are no bandwidth limitations on blogs hosted by WordPress.COM and I believe your other question (Are there any additional fees with podcasting with my current account? (I have Premium) is answered here https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/, and it is that no other fees are charged by WordPress.COM.
That leaves this question:
Is there an audio/podcast file size limitation for each podcast? -
Hi there,
As timethief mentioned, there are no bandwidth limits or fees for podcasting beyond the Premium plan you already have for your site.
Is there an audio/podcast file size limitation for each podcast?
There’s no strict limit on media uploads for any type of media. We’ve had good success uploading files as large as 1 GB — that shouldn’t be an issue for your podcast (usually only video uploads will get near that limit).

Thanks Rachel, sounds like good news.
Can you (or anyone else) direct me to any wordpress.com websites that are currently hosting a podcast via the instructions shown here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/podcasting/
This will help me to understand how it will appear on my website.
Thanks!

I don’t know any off the top of my head, but it’s worth noting that there’s quite a bit of flexibility in terms of how your site actually looks. As long as you configure your site with the Podcasting guide, the main pieces on your site will be posts that use your podcast category and have an audio file embedded in them. Beyond that, you can do what you want with the site. :)
You may want to search the Reader for podcasts, to see what you can find there. For example, there are a number of podcast sites that use the “podcast” tag:
