Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You): A How-To Guide from the First Family of Podcasting by Griffin McElroy, Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy

5.0

Thanks, Goodreads, for the giveaway copy I received! I’m a big fan of the McElroys in all their endeavors so I was delighted to get a chance to read this ahead of its release date.

The book has a lot of actionable advice for someone interested in starting a podcast and certainly some lessons that were learned through trial and error in their 10 years of weekly episodes. It’s written in a way that’s reminiscent of their own podcast with each chapter being steered by a brother and the other two popping in to add on or make a joke.

It is definitely geared toward comedy podcasting as that’s their main deal, but there’s a chapter on research as well (written by surprise guest Sydnee McElroy with commentary from Rachel and Teresa).

I’d recommend this to someone looking to start a podcast and especially someone who is already acquainted with the McElroys.
