This service does a little of everything, it can help you create video or audio files as well as podcasts that can be posted to your blog. Their podcasting service costs $9.95 per month and includes 500MB of space and unlimited podcasting and blogging.

In terms of podcasting, you can either upload audio files to your Hipcast account, use their phone service or record using your computer microphone and a browser based recorder. However, Hipcast does not offer audio editing tools.

Once you have your podcast uploaded or recorded, Hipcast supplies a player that can be placed on many popular blog sites including MovableType, Blogware, Typepad, WordPress, Blogger, pMachine and LiveJournal. You can also podcast from your blog through Feedburner. It can also help you create iTunes compatible podcasts.

Hipcast is simple and easy to use. Hipcast is not a bad deal if you already have a blog and an audio editing program, but if you need an editor, you may want to try a program like Propaganda.
