Hi, I was wondering if there is a pre-existing module that converts podcasts to feeds in drupal? ie. so a user can upload a podcast to the Drupal cms and this is automatically converted to a feed? Any help would rock! Sarah

Are you looking for the audio module?
FWIW, every taxonomy term (and blog) generates a feed, and the first file attached to the node appears on the feed. I *think* these feeds validate in iTunes (although without the iTunes metadata). The audio module allows you to generate an iTunes feed.
You could also look at Views, and views_rss, that generates an rss feed from a view.
hth.
Cheers,
Bill

Further to Bill's reply.The first file upload in the node is listed as an attachment, so the attached mp3/m4a file is available to the podcast client software. This means a standard story node can be used to input the podcast. Then, as Bill says, a taxonomy term or View can be used to make the feed available.
The audio module does a lot of "magic" with automatically listing the mp3 embedded tags in the node, and other stuff. I've haven't used it myself but have spoken with a couple of people that found it did too much in a way they didn't like, so they stuck with the simple approach. So something to look at but not to commit to without investigation.
I'm not sure what happens when you involve feedburner.
