When I first did my review of the pre-beta version of Odeo's Studio, I was blown away by the possibilities. Doing everything online, without the hassle of uploading or setting up RSS feeds was liberating. But then a commenter pointed me to podOMatic. I've never heard of it, and a little time went by before I tried it out (procrastinator? me?!), but once I laid my hands on this thing I was completely blown away.

And yes, it's free.

With the ready-made music beds, and sounds effects for n00bz who don't have this stuff at their fingertips, this is one killer app. If you do have audio you want to use, you can - so 'leet podcasters are covered too. Take all that audio and mix it directly on podOmatic using the mixOmatic - all 100% flash based and I have yet to encounter any bugs.

Did I mention podMail where you can essentially email a podcast to your iPod/MP3 Player? Oh and podAmigo that let's you search, capture and store podcasts on both Windows and Mac, with both iTunes and Windows Media Player. And I'm not even going to touch upon the Daycasts because you should just stop reading now and go check it out for yourself.

Look for a Droxy Podcast powered by podOmatic in the very near future.
