I do podcasts from my own site not using anything like feedburner or Libsyn. 
You can do this by writing your own xml file.

I learned to do this from the info in the how to section at
http://www.podcast411.com

Just go to the info for podcasters, and the tutorials should be under that. 
I'm sure there are other resources, but I found this one to be simple and 
straight-forward for a layperson like me.

Please let me know if you have any questions on writing your feed, and I'll 
be happy to try and help.
