starsGreat way to search for podcasts

Any additional comments?

I like the brief descriptions and the details for each listing, like show length and host. I also feel like this would make a great gift for pretty much everyone I know.

Super guide

"Starting A Podcast" was surprisingly really terrific...and I HIGHLY recommend! I say "surprisingly" because as of lately I've consumed a lot of books, blogs, articles, and podcasts on the subject of podcasting. Jerry Kershen's audio book is among the few that really gives it to you step-by-step and without a lot of fluff to wade through. Like most adult learners...I'm looking for steps and actual to-do items--and that's what I found. Thank you!!! He was kind enough to share the eBook version with me as well. Thus, I look forward to going back and tracking down all the great tips and put them into action. Particularly if you are a beginner, I earnestly recommend Starting A Podcast. Well done Jerry Kershen!
