Hey Ori. It sounds like there is a problem with your setup. For tech

An audiocast is simply a compressed audio file on a remote server
available for streaming. A podcast is the same thing but rebrands the
concept as though it originated with a certain fruit company. To use the

compressed audio file and putting it online.
