There are more and more people trying to work out how to make money out of podcasting. A new entrant is Click Caster:

ClickCaster takes the complexity out of creating a podcast. It turns your computer into a small yet powerful recording studio, radio station and publishing company all in one simple and easy to use package.

It does with with a program and a service that allows you to very simply and easily create a recording/podcast on your computer, license it with a copyright, publish it on the internet so people can easily find it and subscribe to and promote it by listing it in the CastLister public podcasting directory.

They (plan to) offer a scaled service starting at $34.95/year for hosting and basic web software. The bit that makes ClickCaster interesting is the way that they offer higher priced options that include multitrack recording software, sound library, and even a mixer and microphones. This could make them a “one-stop-shop” for a new podcaster.

Apparently a free “beta” of this service starts some time this month (April 2005).
