I bought this book a couple of months ago and never bother to read it until now. And boy what a great message. I was looking for a book that could really teach me how to podcast and this book delivered what it promised. Not only that, but It also taught me how to put my first podcast together. His improvised script at the end, which I thought was a clever idea-he summarised what the book was all about, which I thought was a great idea. The book is small so it really doesn't take a long time to read. That's a pro, and a con would be: that I don't think a saw a table of content so it's not formatted like any regular book. So, I was not prepared for that. It was something different. But, I would definitely use this book as a foundation.

A Different Podcast Book

This book focuses on content, interviewing, structure and formatting as opposed to technical issues, equipment or marketing. It’s a welcome change. While there’s not a ton here (the book is concise and general), you get a lot to think about and a couple tools and checklists as well. A good complement to the bevy of technical books out there.

[Tara Brabazon]

There are so many - too many - introductory books to podcasting. Eiman takes the next stage. He explores the planning, the writing, the vocal control and the management content.

An effective book for those entering the next stage of podcasting.

A Quick Read To Get Started Podcasting!

If you are seeking to get started quickly on your podcast journey, this book does the trick. It is packed with tips for making your podcast shine. Follow up and reread over again.

This book is a primer on how to give an aural presentation. It has very little to do with podcasting which should include information on recording, equipment, software, and how to get your podcast heard.

[Bosco Farr]

Good source for content techniques and ideas.

[AL]

Some useful tips to keep in mind for those just starting out in terms of public speaking, screenwriting, and/or improv. But if you’re looking for guidance on production, this is not the book for you.

A great book for the person behind the mic

I recently fell into hosting a podcast for my employer and was clueless about what to do when the podcast started recording. I made a lot of the mistakes covered in this book, honestly, and two podcasts will never see the light of day, thank god.

Mike's book is exceptionally easy to read and understand. There's very little technical stuff and even that is made simple. What he does provide is a nap to guide you to making a good podcast someone other than your grandma will listen to. I highly recommend this book as an intro to life as "the talent."

This was a cool book if you write scripts for your podcast.
