Is there a standard way to create Atom-format podcasts?

Question

Searching for "atom podcast" finds me podcasts about atoms, which I'm sure are fascinating but are not what I'm looking for. I've built an RSS feed for a podcast, but I'd like to replace it with Atom, which seems to be better defined and more capable of including arbitrary HTML content.

Answer 1

Use an enclosure link (or multiple) in your entry subtree(s).

An overview of the Atom 1.0 Syndication Format has a nice side-by-side example of an RSS and Atom podcast feed.
