I was fine with not paying the additional fee and accessing the ...
I selected this book in large part because it offered the free video course. After the purchase, I learned that the six video series is made accessible to you one-per-day over a six-day period unless you purchase an up-sell option to gain access all at once. The price is $50. I was fine with not paying the additional fee and accessing the information over the daily drip. However, after the first day, the subsequent videos would not play and I was instead prompted to pay the up-sell fee. I sent an e-mail to the "customer service" and never received a reply or any assistance. Given that, I can only surmise that the video course is a mere bait and switch and only works if you up-sell. Given this experience, I would advise that you keep looking for other resource options. I am giving 1 star only because there is no option for no stars.

Integral Part of Podcasting Technology is Missing
Most podcasts aren't exclusively comprised of the host rambling on solo. Podcast hosts often have guests call in to the show, as we all know. While the author adequately covers the technology to make sure that listeners optimally hear the host's voice, he gives zero information on how the voices of guests calling from a remote location wind up on the finished product.Turns out there are 4 major ways, some are simple, some are in-depth, they all involve technology, and the author clearly should have covered this indisputably integral topic. The author even off-handedly refers to guests calling in on Skype, but then does not reference the subject again. So, aspiring podcast, if you want to interview guests who are not on premise, then you better Google it, because this book completely ignores it.What a fatal flaw for a book that otherwise would have been 4 or 5 stars.

Not "the easy way" nor "the best" but it is honest
I'm starting a podcast as a lead/feed/support for my business and this was one of the books I took a peak at via the sample download. I didn't finish reading the sample before I bought the book.Mr. Power is very straightforward in his objectives and the approach moves cleanly along from studio to gear on down to actually getting the podcast out there. You will need to understand how each piece builds on earlier chapters but read the book (more than twice, at least) and your only complaints should be on content and style. And that's something no book can claim to fix.I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Great book for the beginner--and MORE than just equipment
This is the best resource I've found for a beginning podcaster's technical education -- just enough technical material (you won't be overwhelmed with tech-talk); solid advice you won't get anywhere else (why podcasting from your car is a good thing--who knew?); and a clear path, start-to-finish, on how to get started in the world of podcasting. This AND a video course and access to the author!?! This book will save you hundreds of hours of research, probably hundreds of dollars on equipment, too. The writing is clear and non-technical--and when it does have to get technical, the author provides clear explanation and introduction to new terms. So far, I've read about five books on beginning podcasting and endured a dozen or so Youtube resources and hundreds of webpages so I can safely say: Read this one first!

Finally....We are go for launch!
This ebook, "Introduction to Podcast Technology" is an incredible, thorough and concise explanation on podcasting. I have enjoyed podcasts for years now and it has been a dream of mine to launch my own podcast. One of the major roadblocks has been putting the pieces together to get my idea launched. David answered all of my questions and more! I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in podcasting AND those who want a great short course on audio technology. I know I will be referencing this book often. Thank you, David!

They keep it simple and clear
This book is great for the start up pod caster. Simplifies the tech side. Explains what and why, so you can even cross check and look for different sources. Get Podcast 2016 and shorten the time before you are online.

Extremely helpful
I have a blog and was thinking of starting a podcast and this book laid everything out in a clear and concise manner. I will be looking into the video course and re-reading the book as I start my own podcast channel. A must read for anyone thinking of starting a podcast in the future. Highly recommend this book.
