Are you interested in launching your own podcast?

The world of podcasting is more accessible than ever, but when you’re just starting out, the options available in terms of recording, editing and delivering your podcast can be overwhelming.

Making Ear Candy: The Audio Confectioner’s Guide to Podcasting provides a complete list of ingredients you'll need to cook up your own podcast. From choosing your subject matter all the way to getting the word out about your show, this guide is aimed at providing simple answers and helpful advice from a podcaster with eleven years of experience producing podcasts about pop culture, music, writing, design and small business administration. 

If you’re interested in starting your own podcast, Making Ear Candy can help you get your new show off the ground and create your own recipe for success.

If you have questions about anything in the book, or just podcasting in general, you can either reach out to me on Twitter, or email me brian@seebrianwrite.com.



SO, WHAT'S IN THE BOOK?

The goal of Making Ear Candy is to provide you with a recipe that covers all aspects of starting your own podcast. The book begins by helping you define your vision for your own show, and then takes you through getting equipped, recording, editing and distributing your show. Conducting interviews, working with sponsors and attending events as a podcaster are also covered, and there's an entire chapter dedicated to hearing from other podcasters and their methods for creating and maintaining their shows.
