In case you didn’t hear, I started a podcast! And in honour of that and also in honour of doing the research after I actually jump into the project, I figures it was a good time to start looking at all the things I should really be doing to make it the best thing I can possibly make.
The book is filled with some great insights and ways to make your podcast a higher quality, from how to record the highest quality audio to how to prepare for an interview, to even vocal exercises that you can do in order to make your speech more clear when you are recording. I took an audio class in university, but this book provided a lot more up to date information about how to put a podcast together practically, as well as how to build a team for your idea.
Though some of it was great for me, a lot of it does lean more on other formats of podcasts than I am currently doing. Which is fair! A lot of podcasts are more round table discussions and interviews, or heavily produced exposes, which makes sense that those types of content would take up the majority of the book. And it does provide some interesting tools and tips for how I can improve what I’m currently doing, so it’s a great read.
Overall, I really liked it and found it really useful. If you’re thinking about starting a podcast, the book is a great read for practical advice for how to get one off the ground.
