Q: Automatically delivering a series of podcasts?

[podstart.com]

Got a question from one of my readers about how to automatically "Podcast" a series of files in a specific seqence.

Also, she asked...

>> What happens if someone comes in halfway through a scheduled series of podcasts ( I have 101 days minimum and they go in sequence), will they have to go back and look through the archives or will their ipodder software pick up the back issues?<<

This got me to thinking. I've been experimenting with Podcasting a series of motivational audios. In fact, I'm testing an RSS autoresponder type service now. It's $20 a month and doesn't work very well.

Anyone have an ideas on this? I know this is not "pure" Podcasting, but I think that a way to have timed delivery of a series of Podcasts through an RSS feed would be very interesting to people with certain kinds of content. Any programmers want to partner on this, let me know?

I think... not sure... your best bet would be to use php for the auto feed by date, and then use session variables to track each user so that if they were new they would get the old casts. It would almost treat each person like they had their own feed on your site. Little hard to explain and I am an idiot. I usually just play with the code till it works :)
