I mentioned in my podcast this morning how the good folks at
Friends of Ed, an
APress company, are coming out with
a new book (with a planned September release) on podcasting, "Podcast Solutions". I've been fortunate to read a few of the pre-manuscript chapters, and it's phenomenal. It's wonderfully researched, beautifully written, and very thorough for those of us that produce podcasts, or just those who enjoy listening to them. It's shaping up to be a great read for the novice and experienced podcast enthusiast.
Do make plans to pick this up.
