Detailed How-To, Jun 19 2005

This review is from: Podcasting: Do-It-Yourself Guide (Paperback)
This book walks you step-by-step through the process of creating your own podcasts. Todd Cochrane starts out by explaining a little about what podcasts are and how to find and listen to podcasts, then quickly delves into how to create, upload and promote your own shows.Cochrane has created a realistic guide to podcasting on any budget. Along with recommending equipment for setting up a "semiprofessional" podcast studio, he tells how to get started with what you already own. And, he suggests many free sources for software, hosting and content.
If you are looking for a comprehensive guide to podcasting from someone who has "been there, done that," then you should buy "Podcasting: The Do-it-Yourself Guide."

Busy execs should get a copy., Nov 14 2005

This review is from: Podcasting: Do-It-Yourself Guide (Paperback)
Podcasting is a technology that more of us should be using, but sadly we're not. It's a little like dial-up in 1996: remember Trumpet Winsock? Todd's book goes a long way toward showing you you can quickly participate in podcasting.For the busy exec or marketing manager this do-it-yourself guide has two benefits. First, (you) don't have time anyway, and this book is a quick read. That's good for you. Second, it shows you step-by-step how to create a low-cost, effective podcast. That's good for your business.
If you're a programmer looking for inner secrets, this book is NOT for you. If however you're part of the other 95% of the business world and would like to find out just how easy it is to get into this new media format, buy it. You won't be dissapointed.

Solid book for even existing podcasters, July 2 2005
By Jake McKee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Podcasting: Do-It-Yourself Guide (Paperback)
I've been podcasting for a while, so some of the intro chapters were a little basic for me. (Of course, they were absolutely perfect for newbies. Can't say enough about how much I wish this book existed late last year when I started my communityguy.com podcast!)But where the book really shines for me in about halfway through when it starts to get into some of the discussion about issues that every podcaster hears about, but never really gets a good answer to. Stuff like "Do I need a mixer? What is a mixer even for, anyway??"
Great job to the author on this spectacular book.
The best thing about it is that in two nights of casual reading I was able to breeze through it - the true mark of a great technology book!
Listmania!
