Publisher's summary
From NPR comes the definitive guide to podcasting - featuring step-by-step advice on how to find a unique topic, tell the best stories, and engage the most listeners, as well as the secrets that will take your pod to the next level.
Whoever you are, whatever you love, there’s a podcast audience waiting for you, and in today’s booming audio storytelling landscape, it’s never been easier to share your voice with the world. But while the barrier to entry for podcast production is relatively low (just the cost of a mic and a laptop), the learning curve is steep - and quality matters. That’s where NPR comes in.
In NPR’s Podcast Start Up Guide, Glen Weldon draws on NPR’s extensive educational materials and army of talent - from recognizable hosts, such as Guy Raz (How I Built This), Gene Demby (Code Switch), Linda Holmes (Pop Culture Happy Hour), and Yowei Shaw (Invisibilia), to indispensable behind-the-scenes players, such as producers, engineers, and editors - to guide aspiring podcasters through the conception, creation, and launch of a podcast.
Part master class, part candid informational interview with the best in the business, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to make their dream of starting a podcast a reality.

The best podcast training experience
My daughter and I could not have picked a better book to start our podcast. We learned a great deal. I would buy the book it’s hard to write notes while listening. We bought the book and it’s a beautiful well thought out book.
Wish us luck!

Every bit as good as you'd expect, and a bit more
A confession - I had only a peripheral interest in creating a podcast when I got this book. But, I figured it would have some good general VO and narration info in it (it does) and I figured the narration would be full-on flat-out amazing (it is, of course.)
There's a huge amount of information, it's well organized, and it's expertly presented. Again, not to belabor a point, but... No surprises there.
By the time it was over, I'd decided that I can probably make a good secondary stream of an informational YouTube channel by supplementing it with podcast content, though I'm not yet use if that will really produce a podcast with a justifiable, valuable-to-it's-listeners levels of content, but it's worth exploring - especially for stories that I can "illustrate" as well with sound as I do with images and sound in the video versions. Maybe just as a bonus for patreon supporters - I don't know. But the point is, it's worth exploring, and this book was great for showing me that and getting me thinking about it, and, should it come to pass, I'll absolutely refer back t this book again and again when making it.
On the other hand, if you're actually actively interested or involved in podcasting... What are you waiting for? These are NPR folks, for Pete's sake! You think you're going to find more seasoned professionals with a more genuine interest in just helping people learn and Do The Thing? Get it!

Informative, funny and not too much jargon
I have listened to 10 how to start a podcast books and this book was by far one of the best listens! The book provides details, examples from people who have or had a podcast on things they’ve done what worked and what didn’t. The book also dives into the technical side of podcasting but doesn’t inundate you with podcast jargon as well as how to speak (yep speak) into the microphone, what types of software to use for editing and the actual truth about making money as a podcaster and so much more! If you are interested in starting a podcast and don’t know where to start this book is an ABSOLUTE MUST READ! There is a lot of information packed into the book so you may find yourself clipping information or RE-listening to find specific tips, but it’s all there and even things you may not have even thought about. Add this book to your library today future podcaster! Happy podcasting!

Comprehensive and clear
With the brevity and organization of what makes a great podcast, this book fulfills its promise. I listened with complete focus all the way through. Though I’m helped by years as a freelance Op-Ed contributor and video maker, and even more years as a professional artist, the process is daunting. This helps.
