Book Overview: Anyone who has ever wanted to be on the radio can be now, thanks to podcasting. For a ridiculously small investment, podcasting lets ordinary people create their own broadcasts and distribute those broadcasts over the Internet. Additionally, podcasting offers a tool for businesses, which can provide training, business communications, news, opinion, marketing, and more. Listeners can consume podcasts at their convenience, and recordings can be updated as needed without the additional expense of traditional audio media (tapes, CDs, etc). Thousands have started podcasting since 2004. They've figured out the basics of making a podcast, now they want to make a great podcast, and possibly make some money.
