You could absolutely do this
Keep in mind, when you're listening to submissions at Blind Cool Tech from
the web site, you're not really listening to podcasts as such, basically,
you're listening to files that have just been placed on the web site.
Kind of similar to when I put up an audio file of a real-eyes meeting, it's
not a podcast, just a link to an audio file.
You can get an actual podcasst client that would download podcasts for you
automatically, but they can be initially a bit difficult to configure at
first.
So, as you say, you could create the MP3 or WMA file, and the Olympus DS 50
would work just fine.
You could try emailing the file, but many ISP's have limits on the size of
email attachments.
I would take a look at
www.sendspace.com
because you can upload a very large file, and email anyone the link to the
file so that they can download it.

Thanks Jim. I believe that my Olympus is the DS50. What I would like to do
is to be able to make a simple sound recording. I would like to have some
of my basic instructions on recordings, but there are modifications that I
sometimes have to add. Also, I am thinking that rather than e-mailing a
written informational message as I usually do, it might be interesting to be
able to send a recording as an attachment that everybody could just open and
play. Most folks have Windows Media Player and/or Winamp. I also have
CDEx, so I think I could convert the file to an MP3 if I needed to do that.
Whatever I do, it needs to be easily accessible, as I am working with a
variety of skill levels. So much of what I send out is strictly
informational, and I thought that instead of the same old thing, I would
introduce a little variety (smile!) I got the idea after looking around on
the blindcooltech pod casting site to find out more about system access to
go as you had suggested. After listening to several pod casts to see what
they were like, I figured that if they could do it, I could too.
