PODCAST INTERFACE

A podcast creation and publishing method for execution by a computer system that includes defining, via a graphical user interface, a transitional relationship between at least two media events of a plurality of media events, where a first media event and a second media event at least partially overlap. The method further includes updating corresponding metadata associated with the first and second media events to include the transitional relationship. The method further includes selecting, from a drop down menu displayed on the graphical user interface, an option to generate a podcast from the plurality of media events. The method further includes generating the podcast from the plurality of media events by retrieving the plurality of media events from the media event database along with the metadata, converting the plurality of media events and the metadata into a common format to produce the podcast, and distributing the podcast over a network.
