What do you mean by adding "podcast page as portlet"? the podcast itself is an xml file, rendering it passes xml mime-type, etc. That can't be embedded. The usual approach is to provide a link for the podcast. What we have done for the openacs-conference http://oacs-dotlrn-conf2007.wu-wien.ac.at/conf2007/ was to add a podcast icon with a link, as in:

[[image:podcast.jpg|Download Conference Presentationa as as Podcast|-href itpc://oacs-dotlrn-conf2007.wu-wien.ac.at/conf2007/podcast]]

For providing a link to a single podcast content file, use
[[file:ACSkonferenz_neumann_xowiki_cutVGA.mp4|Presentation Neumann]]

Yeah I think that's the best approach - I was looking for a lazy way of listing all of the files in the podcast within an xowiki page but it's no big deal to link to them manually.

The syntax for the iTunes link was something I couldn't find so thanks for that too.

Thanks for this link. Do you know how this would be possible, if the podcast is on an https:// webserver?

URL: https://learn.bildungsserver.com/podcast

If I link to itpc://learn.bildungsserver.com/podcast it opens itunes, but itunes looks for http://learn.bildungsserver.com/podcast not https://learn.bildungsserver.com/podcast.

Any ideas?

As far i know, a URL of the form itpc://somehost/somepage is always mapped to HTTP, and not to HTTPS. Podcasts are public, so the easiest approach is to accept podcast requests always via HTTP (allow HTTP for podcast urls).
