Overall, this book provided a great introduction to Podcasting and provides many helpful suggestions and ideas for newbies. It was the first book on Podcasting that I decided to read (I wasn’t too impressed with any of the others) and the author does a fine job with his explanations. For the most part, the examples that are provided are quite useful, as well as Cochrane’s suggestions for equipment. The only problem is that both hardware and software can be replaced, in the marketplace, so quickly that some of his suggestions were no longer available. Even so, he provides a great foundation upon which to start creating podcasts – and the podcasts that I’ll eventually create on this site will have benefited from this book.
