Very nice.

My 8-year-old is wanting to start a podcast where she reads aloud the stories she has written. She was disappointed when I told her I probably wouldn't be able to get them listed on Audible or on Pinna, but I think a website like that might be just the ticket.

It's really easy to get a podcast into Apple Podcasts, just submit a URL for the RSS feed. If you don't mind intervening to edit the XML when a new episode goes up, all you need is a directory on a web host somewhere... you drop in a hand-jammed XML file for the RSS feed and all the mp3 files.

Heads up, I think you're still on the hook for download bandwidth though. Bandwidth is one reason podcast hosting is so popular.

If you use a service like Transistor.fm, you can get a website generated for your feed automatically. Not much customization options, but probably enough to get by. For $9/mo, it's not a bad option.

That sounds lovely. Please encourage her and help her. It's an amazing feeling when you put your work on the web on a safe manner as a kid.

You should encourage her. If anything, in a few years, hearing it will trigger memories from this time.
