Using the IU Podcast Portal, what's the difference between creating a new podcast and registering a podcast?

Note: To host or manage your podcasts using the Indiana University Podcast Portal, you must first request an account; see How do I request an account on the IU Podcast Portal?

Using the Indiana University podcast portal, you can create a new podcast feed and upload episodes to the podcast portal server, or you can register an existing podcast feed that is hosted elsewhere (e.g., on a departmental server).

To create a new podcast feed, choose the Create a new podcast option. This will allow you to create a new feed from scratch, upload episode files to the portal servers, and use the portal forms to enter information about the feed and each episode.

To register an existing podcast feed, choose the Register a podcast option. With this method, you'll need to enter only the existing RSS feed. All other information (e.g., episode titles, durations, descriptions, and images) is gathered directly from the feed itself. The episode files remain on the remote server, and the portal makes the episodes available for searching and promotion.

Note: For policy information on podcast content at Indiana University, refer to the University Information Policy Office (UIPO) University-wide IT Policy page. In particular, see Appropriate Use of Information Technology Resources.
