Time release podcast episodes

I have 116 pre-recorded podcast episodes, 7.56gb of mp3 files. I need to upload all the files to a hosting service then schedule a timed release of 1 episode per 5 days. Is this possible????

iTunes works entirely from the feed, which lists the episodes and the media files. If the files are preset on the server but not referenced in the feed iTunes will not know they are there.


However you can only do what you want by uploading amended versions of the feed at intervals. If the files are referenced in the feed they will show in iTunes, if not, not. You would need a way of automating uploads of the feed; you can't do it within iTunes.
