Book Review - Make Noise: A Creator's Guide to Podcasting and Great Audio Storytelling

Make Noise: A Creator's Guide to Podcasting and Great Audio Storytelling



About the Book

“An interestingly idiosyncratic and personal vision of how to make podcasts.”—Ira Glass

Veteran podcast creator and strategist Eric Nuzum distills a career’s worth of wisdom, advice, practical information, and big-picture thinking to help podcasters “make noise”—to stand out in this fastest of fastest-growing media universes.

Nuzum identifies core principles, including what he considers the key to successful audio storytelling: learning to think the way your audience listens. He delivers essential how-tos, from conducting an effective interview to marketing your podcast, developing your audience, and managing a creative team. He also taps into his deep network to offer advice from audio stars like Ira Glass, Terry Gross, and Anna Sale.

The book’s insights and guidance will help readers successfully express themselves as effective audio storytellers, whether for business or pleasure, or a mixture of both.



My Take on the Book
As someone that has been podcasting for some time I did not know what to expect in this book but I was very pleasantly surprised at all of the practical wisdom throughout the book.

The book is a perfect read for anyone at any stage of podcasting. Whether you are just thinking of starting a podcast or you have been podcasting for years.

The author has done a great job sharing his experiences and insights throughout the entire book. The book has so many stories that draw you further and further into the book and the concepts being shared. There were so many great sections within the book including things like creating a ten word description of the show to really knowing your audience and the characters of the show too.

This is a book I highly recommend to all that have any interest in Podcasting. You will learn much for this and it will help you be the type of podcaster you will want to be!
