Starting a Show on Mevio Network
You always have good things to say about Mevio, but when I go to the site, I can’t figure it out. What do I need to do to get a show on mevio.com?
I get that question a lot, and they’re actually working to improve it. Here’s what you do:
Go to Mevio.com. Sign up for a free account. VERY important note: You’ll choose a name that will become your home (ex: cali.podshow.com). This is YOUR name, not the name of the show. You’ll choose your show name later.
Click on Master Control
Here, you have two options. If you already have an existing show, you can use the Feed Vacuum to move all your files over so your files aren’t hosted in two places. Click “Import an Existing Show” if this is the case for you. If you will be starting a new show, click “Create a New Show”.
Follow the instructions on the next screens to Import a Show or Create a Show. Anytime you want to do something with your show, you’ll find it under Master Control.
What you see first are the controls for your personal page. You can edit your profile, manage your friends, etc.
Under that, you’ll find a list of your shows. Click on one and you’ll get options to edit your show, upload shows, view your show statistics, etc.
To upload a new episode, click “Show Episodes”, then “Add a New Episode”. Fill out the shownotes, title and tags, and click “Upload”. You’re done!
Edited 8/13/08: changed PodShow to Mevio (they changed their name) and updated some information.

Wow — I’m the first to comment on this great advice? Thanks, as always, Cali, for your willingness to share tips with us beginners. Great to have someone take you by the hand sometimes and guide you when you’re venturing into unknown territory.

Thank you so much, Cali for sharing this.
It’s almost a year later now, and I thiink Podshow’s layout has improved. I never realized they offered free bandwidth before I read this?
I remember the early days when everyone used Libsyn. Why would someone use Libsyn now?
There is a way to sindicate podshow (well now mevio) for itunes? I uploaded some videos, but they are always converted to flash, and i tryed to suscribe to my feed in mevio in itunes, but the shows that i already have doesnt download. The last video that i uploaded was in mp4, and they say one of their purposes is podcasting? so… can you explain me a little bit?
@Ettiene - Sounds like you’re uploading to Flash rather than uploading to your “Show”. In the Master Control choose the picture of your show then “Show Episodes” then “New Episode”.
Does that make sense?
Great advice Cali. I too was wondering how it was done @ Podshow network. Very very cool!
