Final Edits

Tee Morris and I are rapidly going through the final edits on Podcasting for Dummies 3rd Edition and I have to tell you – this book rocks! I’ll admit that I have not looked at a Dummies book in a while and they certainly cleaned up and modernized the layout. New cover design as well as new internal layout. We’re sure you’re going to love it as much as we do.

We’ve added an entire chapter on mobile podcasting, more up to date information on video, social media, hardware, and hosting. Much of the “tried and true” information is still there to get best practices from us old-timers – including a few new tricks we’ve learned since the 2nd Edition came out in 2008.

Stay tuned!
