Product Name: Podcasting for Dummies by Tee Morris

Reviewed By: Crissy Gipson, Soldotna, AK

Product Description: Podcasting For Dummies by Tee Morris explains podcasting in a very non-threatening and easy to understand way. This 300 page book will walk you through everything, from getting set up, to recording your voice, and publishing yourself on the web.

Here are some of the things included:
* Step by step instructions for the following topics:
* Choosing a podcast theme
* Recording and mixing your voice
* Publishing your podcast & RSS feeds
* Publicity
* Showcases top ten podcasts and most influential podcasters

Thoughts & Criticisms: Podcasting is hot, hot, hot and this book does a very good job of filling you in on the ins and outs. I think everyone can learn a thing for two from this book (however, if you have lots of experience in internet talk radio or podcasting already, some of the topics will be old hat to you).

System Requirements:
This is a book – you do not need a system to read it.

Money-back guarantee: Depends on the retailer you buy the book from

Rating: 8

Thank you all so much for the kind words over Podcasting for Dummies. Some things you might like to know happening now and coming soon: Podcasting for Dummies: The Companion Podcast is now in its second season and comes in two flavors -- standard audio and "enhanced" (featuring still images, active URL's, and even video). You can find it on iTunes by doing a search for "Tee Morris" or you can fllow the URL link featured in the openign of the book. Also, slated for a Summer 2008 release is the Second Edition of Podcasting for Dummies. Same book, only with updated content and even a chapter featuring video podcasting with iMovie and Windows Movie Maker.

Thank you again for the review. I wish you all the best with your own podcasting endeavors and invite you to have a listen to my latest podcast novel, Morevi: Remastered. Happy Podcasting!
