I am so excited now to go and make a podcast. This book made me feel confident and ready, while also managing my expectations of success. And the personalities of the McElroys comes through so strongly, I could really hear their voices (despite not having the audiobook). A lot of really good information, but not a dry delivery! Excellent choice for anyone thinking of starting their own podcast!

Though I wish it got a little more into the nitty-gritty details in some sections, the book is chock-full of good information for newbie podcasters and delivers some genuine laughs along the way.

The McElroys do an amazing job of blending their trademark humor with genuinely useful advice and guidelines. Their ideas are concise and actionable, and leads to a greater appreciation for and understanding of the podcasting process, even if the reader does not choose to pursue podcasting themselves.

A light-hearted look at how to make a podcast. I came away not quite sure if the aim was for this book to be an informative guide or a comedy book for fans of their podcast. The bulk of the advice is common sense but there are a few bits and pieces that were useful.

Listened to the audio book which is basically a ginormous, wonderful podcast. I intend on buying the Kindle version for additional reference.
Would have liked a bit more autobiography, but I respect the direct intent.

The audience for this book is, I think, VERY limited.
If you are starting or thinking of starting a podcast AND you love the McElroys? This book is going to be great for you.
If you're new to podcasting and neutral on/dislike/only a little bit like the McElroys? You're probably better off skimming some podcasting guides on the internet.
I am a person who loves the McElroys and have been podcasting for over a decade, off-and-on. For me? This book was very middling. I laughed a few times. I learned a couple of things. But that was about it.
The book is well written and there are definitely some insights in here that you wouldn't get anywhere else. I found the chapter on equipment especially accessible, yet comprehensive. But there are better McElroy jokes. There are better podcasting guides. And overall, the book is just *alright*
Though, I'll reiterate, in case it's been lost in the various couching above, if you love the McElroys and are NEW to podcasting, this book would be an excellent place to start.

I found a ton of bits and pieces in here that were incredibly useful for our podcast as we complete 30 episodes!
