This book was easy to read. It went into what I would consider the before process of starting a podcast and within the book it went through in the order of what is needed to do so.

This is a bad book. I spent more time trying to figure out it was AI generated content or just written by people who have next to no experience in podcast. Pages are so overwrought with inane bullshit that even at a few hundred pages, it’s too long.
Guidance on things like how long a podcast should be and how to format a script and developing a person have no evidence or statistics to back it up. Their logic is so basic, you’d have to be brain dead not to already be aware of.
Feels like this is some bullshit “how to” seminars trying to tell you exactly how to follow this formula to get rich that’s best for an airport Ramada conference room just packed into book form.
Do not pay for this.

Fair play. Very useful and informative book. The idea of creating a community around my podcast hadn't occurred to me, but it's a great idea. I'm off to create a FB group and then get engaged members using the tips in the book. Onwards and upwards!
