Outdated and Really Basic, Wasted my Time , Good dad jokes though.

It’s amazing how much information can be in this book without me learning anything. Most of this book was irrelevant to me because it included extremely detailed steps of how to use garage band or specific things like the amount of bandwidth available for your podcast, that stuff went above my head and also is completely meaningless when you use an app like Spotify Podcasts/Anchor, or most podcast apps available today where you can make a podcast for free. But then oddly the stuff that was actually relevant to me was so basic it was so unhelpful. For example, there was a chapter about advertising your podcast and literally the only thing I learned in that chapter was that they suggest using Facebook. I could’ve guessed that without having to open this book. They spent the entire chapter just saying why you should use Facebook and then they told you where on Facebook to find a Facebook ad as if I don’t understand how to Google things. Either this book is written for 50 year old people who have never touched a computer in the last 10 years and suddenly want to create a podcast, or it was written 10 years ago for 40 year olds and they just slapped a 2021 copyright on it. There was actually an entire chapter talking about how you should Google yourself to find forums to talk about your podcast as if Reddit didn’t exist. I’ve never experienced a book that has so much information without giving you enough details to actually be useful while also simultaneously giving you too much details of things that are useless. The only good thing about this book was the authors dad jokes that he used in every chapter multiple times. This book did NOT age well.
