Step up to the mic and unleash your inner host with Podcasting For Dummies.
Ever wonder what it takes to get your very own podcast up and running? How to get the gear you need, pick a great topic, secure fascinating guests, and assemble it all into a refined and irresistible product?
Well wonder no more! Because Podcasting For Dummies has the essential guidance you need to get your brand-new podcast up and running. From selecting the right recording equipment to identifying an audience and pro-level production tips, you'll find all the killer info to help you get started on your next big idea.
The funny thing about podcasting — outside of comedy podcasts, of course — is that it isn’t that hard to do. You just need someone to point the way and illuminate your path.
You don’t need to be a techno-wizard or a super-geek. You can take a thought or an opinion, create original audio or video expressing that thought or opinion, and distribute your idea worldwide. You can capture the attention of a few hundred — or a few thousand — people around the world through MP3 players hiding in computers, loaded on smartphones, strapped around biceps, bouncing in pockets, or hooked up to car stereos.
You can do podcasting, from recording to online hosting, on a variety of budgets, ranging from frugal to Fortune 500. You can podcast about literally anything — including podcasting for its own sake. Blogging gave the anonymous, famous, almost-famous, and used-to-be famous a voice in politics, religion, and everyday life. Podcasting adds volume and tone to that voice.
Podcasting For Dummies, 5th Edition provides the answer to the question, “How do I podcast?” We take you through the always-evolving technological movement encompassing the internet, digital communications, education, and entertainment. By the time you reach the end of this book, the basics will be in place to get you, your voice, and your message heard around the world — and you can even have fun along the way.
This book was written as a linear path from the conceptualization stages to the final publication of your work. However, you don’t have to read the book from page one. If you’ve already gotten your feet wet with various aspects of podcasting, jump around from chapter to chapter and read the sections you need. We provide plenty of guides back to other relevant chapters when the going gets murky.
We assume that you have a computer, a lot of curiosity, and a desire to podcast. We couldn’t care less about whether you’re using a Mac, a PC, Linux, Unix, or two Dixie cups connected with string. (Okay, maybe the two Dixie cups would be a challenge; a computer is essential.) We’re here to describe the tools for creating a podcast, regardless of what OS you’re running.
You'll also get:
Software and hardware tips to create and produce a crystal-clear podcast
Interview advice, whether you'll be seeing your guests in-person or over Zoom
Strategies for choosing the perfect platform, finding sponsors, and advertising and marketing your new creation
Pointers for setting up a streaming account and doing live podcasting like an expert
