Expert Podcasting Practices for Dummies - Book

Following on from the original "Podcasting for Dummies" book and companion podcast, authors and podcasters Evo Terra and Tee Morris have combined again to publish the sequel. Expert Podcasting Practices for Dummies. The book is designed for people who are already podcasting to help them get to a new level. In addition, it is a good update and refresher for those who read the original book that was published 2 years ago.


Getting the book was a challenge in itself and I decided to try to get the book myself rather than ordering it online. I thought it would give me an insight into how many podcasting books are available here in Sydney. Firstly I tried yesterday at my local book shops but their computer sections are very small. Needless to say, there was no luck there.


Then today I thought I'd try again, this time in the middle of Sydney. Firstly I went to the Sydney City Myer store and I looked and looked and then I asked where their computer book section is - they don't have one! They are quite happy to sell you a computer a couple of levels above the book section but no computer books at all? WTF? Or as I mistyped into Twitter "WTE?" The guy suggested to go around the corner to Dymocks which is where I got the original book from and I knew they have a large computer section.


I went to Dymocks and found the computer section and the original book. The original was filed with a couple of other podcast book on the MISC shelf of the computer section. Then with limited time to go elsewhere I asked for help and the guy looked it up on the computer. He said that the book was in stock and I showed him where I found the original. Then I made the suggestion of a dedicated "Dummies" section for all the Dummies books.


He then looked in the Internet section as that is where the computer said the book was located and he found it in the next aisle away from where I found the original. With the new book was a couple more podcasting books. So I suggested that it would be a good idea to put all the podcasting books together and he thought of one better and would look at moving the books, changing their location on the computer and also a label for the shelf.


I paid for the book and then spent some of the afternoon reading it. I haven't read the whole book yet but already I have a couple of more ideas. I will also re-read the original.
