Interesting and helpful, but personally I would recommend this free software
for Museums to use RSS Builder for this purpose, and host the code on their
own servers rather than someone else's.
Go to http://home.hetnet.nl/mr_2/43/bsoft/rssbuilder/ for the free download.
A quick look around sites like sourceforge reveal a number of projects of
interest for the more IT literate.
For example - http://sourceforge.net/projects/podadmin/,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/podcastgen/ etc.
If you are prepared to pay out $US49.95 then Propaganda is an excellent tool
( see http://www.makepropaganda.com/products.html ) and is my preferred
option. I have used this in the past and found it excellent.
best wishes
Roger

> Hi,

> We created a free automatic RSS podcast maker called FeedMe! V.03

> museum regardless of technical skills or financial limitations can
> generate the code necessary for RSS because FeedMe! will do it for you.
> You just fill in the blanks and upload MP3 audio, MPEG4 video, WMV, and
> PDF files and the RSS feed will automatically be generated.
>
> In the future, along with the RSS feed which is your to use how you wish
> you will also be given control where the media can be streamed on our
> distribution network including our over 60 Facebook, MySpace, and Bebo
> approved Widget apps, which are also being used by a variety of colleges
