Super generic and surface level. Not helpful.

If you are looking for a very light entry into how to start a podcast this might help a little bit? You will receive advice like “make your content shine” and “have your audio sound the best way possible.” That’s all true, but you’ll receive little to no specifics on how to achieve this other than to “get a USB microphone.” Even though the price was low for this audio ebook it’s not worth it. You could Google and read a much better free blogpost that will have much better advice and direction. I’m sure of it.

not worth the time

this audio book on starting a podcast seemed to be written by someone who read a book on starting a podcast. No useful information unless you have never heard of the audio file called podcast. Narrator is pretty good.

Too little and no value.

This is a very short book and is only of value if you have no idea what podcasts are and how they work. I felt like I was being spoken to in a condescending manner the entire book. Thankfully it was very short. Shorter than most podcasts.

solid informations contained

The lack of five stars is only because of how short the book is--the author's tone is very positive and encouraging, but the book could have used a little more content to fill out the chapters. Still a good and contains basic (but certainly not exhaustive) information for anyone who is thinking about starting a podcast.

simple straight forward

Everything I know about podcasting comes from this book excellent book on podcasting. I highly recommend it to all people who are considering podcasting or who are podcasts . The author has done a great job...

The book is excellent

This book is excellent! I lknew nothing about podcasting when I started listening this audiobook.. The only thing I knew for sure was that I wanted to do it. I can't begin to tell you how surprised I was to find out how easy it is to get started! In just a few minutes I knew what equipment to buy and the steps I needed to take in order to be successful. I love this book!!!

Good intro to podcasting.

I was looking for an introduction to podcasting and this fit the bill. It's not incredibly detailed but that's because it's an intro to the author's training but it was worth the money.
