5.0 out of 5 stars Very Handy., March 17, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

There's quite a few thorough looking books out there for podcasting, and the main reason I bought this one was due to its recent release date more than anything else. Usually, how new something is does not matter to me, but with technology it's an entirely different matter as the websites I choose to send a podcast to may change their requirements and expectations every couple of years. I work with a great IT guy but I often get lost just a few minutes into his explanation of things so I knew that I had to get some resources or I'd never be able to do a podcast on my own. Audacity just isn't all that tech ignoramus friendly (although the price is right!) so I was pleasantly surprised by the Podcasting Bible. They begin with Audacity and introduce a site called PodOmatic which is something I never heard of before opening these pages. There you can get free server space for audio files and attract listeners. Considering the amount of "oomph" in this dense how-to guide, I'd say that the price is quite reasonable.
