This is an early - 2006 - guide to podcasting. But it is a solid book that reviews a range of key topics, including microphone set up, the potential of and for commercialization, editing and understanding the audience.

There is also a strong appendix on the use of the voice for podcasting.

As an initial introduction into podcasting, and also an enlightening revision for experienced podcasters, this is a fine book. Considering the date of the publication, the arguments have not dated.

Super deep

A little out of date by now, but the principles remain the same. Many of the specifics have changed, but good advice on how and where to start looking. Cut my learning curve by weeks.

Picked up a couple of useful tips, but the book is now, alas, ten years old. Most of the hyperlinks are now long dead.
