iTunes 4.9 is out!
Ladies and gentlemen, iTunes 4.9:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/
Currently, the podcast directory is hidden in the iTunes store. In the navigation bar on the left, select "Movie Trailers" then "Soundtracks." On that page there's a link to Podcasts.
Here are the technical details for making your podcast iTunes compatible:

HFJ isn't available yet. There's a way to submit a podcast's RSS feed for consideration, but please don't do it yet. I'm working on adding album art to all the previous episodes and moving them to another server so I don't wake up one morning and discover I owe Dreamhost for excess bandwidth.
In the meantime, you can subscribe manually by pasting the RSS feed into iTunes. It's under the "Advanced" menu.

Right on! HFJ was the first up on my subscription lists. Rich, did you see the Chapter Tool Beta as well? Will you be moving to AAC?
BTW, loved the video cast. Please do more of that. Thanks.
I don't see moving to AAC as a benefit to the majority of listeners or to me either. If I switched to AAC, since I use an iRiver, I wouldn't be able to listen to my own shows anymore! I already spend enough time putting shows together, and splitting each episode into chapters would be a "nice to have" feature rather than something essential. It seems like overkill for a piece of media that most people use once and delete. Plus, I'm no longer a Mac user and there isn't a Windows version of the Chapter Tool available.
I'm as eager to use/support AAC as I am Windows Media. From my point of view, MP3 doesn't lack anything anyone reall needs.
Hey that above link is broken, and the url is down (as is /static i think). I was trying to get to it. Do you have a copy?
We (savannah college of art and design web group) are trying to get our video podcast working in iTunes and the dang image won't load right.
