If you have any interest in working with podcasts or questions about how they work, I recommend this book. The author uses his experience with podcasts, first as a listener, then as a broadcaster, to which he added coaching, to illustrate his recommended process.The book is organized in a manner that moves, as Dumas did, from interest, to delivery, step by step.  I began to see more value in podcasts and understand the appeal for people who want to use drive time or commute time to learn.  I've used other formats for years, but just hadn't gotten into podcasts.Throughout the book, the illustrations are joined by links to resources and Dumas website where he has additional video tutorials that readers can use.  I liked the book from the beginning, but was even more impressed when I went to the author's website and listened to the podcasts he has available.His style involves an interview with an entrepreneur and has a consistent system for the topic which keeps the information flowing, yet conversational.John Lee Dumas's book moved podcasts from the 'mystery zone' for me -- nice to listen while being clueless about how to manage one. I read the book while traveling and determined to begin a podcast when I came home.  A round of seasonal allergies put my voice out of commission which was a good thing because I've had to calm down and follow a reasonable plan to be ready.  Podcast Launch remains close to the top of the books on my Kindle Fire.
