Review
"Clear directions for how to create blogs and podcasts are accompanied by a huge amount of helpful information about blogging, hosting sites, and the online world in general, including explanations of terms that can be confusing for the uninitiated." -Camcorder and Computer Video

"The authors are thorough, providing relevant references and resources for getting your video blog and/or podcast up and running quickly and efficiently. We were especially happy to see a chapter on licensing and copyright, two important aspects of blogging and podcasting that most of us need to learn about." -Camcorder and Computer Video

Best Guide to Podcasting I have read yet
I work for Loyola Marymount University. We recently decided to make all lectures available via Podcasts. I went searching for books on the subject in order to find a solution for the school. This book was by far the best book on the subject. It even gave us some ideas for video blogging that we hadn't previously considered. Without the precise and coherent coverage given to Podcasting in this book I doubt we would have a solution even half as good. Thanks to the authors for their great book. It has been invaluable.

The nitty gritty
This hands-on guide is great for nailing down the nitty gritty of podcasting. Sure, there's nothing to it; you can make a podcast in a night. But then, once it's launched, there are SO many things to consider and so many ways to expand it. This is what makes casting a blast!

His nitty gritty on bandwidth, pricing plans, and especially the case studies of existing vidcasts and podcasts helped me a lot with refining my New Civilization Podcast.

Good stuff!

The book I've been waiting for...
Being new to podcasting I'm have kind of a thirst for everything I can learn on the topic. I want to know history, technique, equipment, promotion, etc. I even wanted to know what all the hype about Adam Curry was. This book is a smart, intelligently written guide to the "podosphere" and "blogosphere". It's the perfect guide to help you get started, running, and maintain your podcast or videoblog.

This book was key in helping me launch my Global Mobile Online podcast. (Search "global mobile online" on iTunes).

Thanks guys, can't wait for revision 2!
