About the book

You've got an idea for a podcast, but you aren't sure where to begin. Or you've jumped in and interviewed a guest but you find that the audio isn’t quite right. You go online to look for a solution but come across a dizzying array of often contradictory information, written in highly technical terms. What you need is a guide that lays out the technical side of podcasting in easy-to-understand language, preferably with cartoons.

In The Podcaster’s Audio Handbook sound engineer and podcast producer Corey Marie Green shares straightforward advice on how to record great audio and prevent technical issues before they arise. Take control of the technical side of podcasting so you can create great content, express yourself creatively and connect with your audience.​

 

  • Understand the equipment commonly used in podcasting

  • Find out what you need to know about recording indoors, outdoors and over the internet

  • Learn how to shape your content into a compelling story

The Podcaster's Audio Handbook is fully illustrated with over 150 photographs, diagrams and cartoons:

a cartoon depicting one person asking 'do you know what happened to the last piece of cake' and another awkward person with a speech bubble that reads '...'. The caption is 'when editing a podcast remember that silence can be expressive'

The book also includes audio files to enhance the learning process. The following audio file demonstrates a simple strategy to reduce the recording of background noise in the field.

“Whether you are a pandemic-inspired podcast creator or a serious storyteller, your audience needs a quality product. Follow the advice in this cleverly written book and your audience will enjoy an amazing listening experience. Corey holds the reader’s hand, and guides them through the production process, providing practical and easy-to-understand tips. As a bonus, you see her awesome sketches and get to hear her hilarious sheep impression.” - Zain Nabi, Digital Production and Content Trainer at SBS Radio.

The Podcaster's Audio Handbook is available through the Springer website and all major bookstores.
