Just upload it and link to it from various sites (and perhaps send  
the link out on mailing lists). For a one shot deal, it doesn't make  
sense to do a podcast. If you were planning on releasing things every  
week though, a podcast is certainly a good way to go. Just make sure  
the site has links to download without worrying about the podcast, as  
not everyone (myself included) bothers with them.

The wikipedia article is a good start for information on what podcast  
is and how to use it, but it is probably a bit more than you need to  
know:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting#Mechanics

A quick bit of Googling can help you out if you want to create your  
own. It is basically as simple as uploading the mp3 and an xml file  
that contains the correct information.
