Well I've never done an actual PODCAST like from iTunes or wherever but I used to do a thing called "DJing" online. It's basically the same thing (I think)

If not, some of this equipment may help.
With DJing you either needed SAM (Which requires a license but you can get a trial) or Winamp. I had winamp which you can download from www.winamp.com but you also need shoutcast www.shoutcast.com

Now this is where it may become tricky, and different. With DJing, I was DJing on a site so I needed to connect to that site. I got given the port and address. Now with podcasting I don't think you'd use them...so uh...that's as much information I can give. Sorry.

Also sometimes when people call in, you can either give out your real number (Not very safe in my opinion) or you can use a program called Skype. Skype is like a real phone, except it's on the internet and you call in people from their username. But you can buy skype out credit, or credit for people from real phones to call your skype. You can find all the info and download it here: www.skype.com

Sorry I couldn't be much help...
