The Podcaster's Manifesto  (English, Paperback, Lemanczyk Sarah)

Audio is a unique medium for communication. It's intimate, immediate, immersive, and creators can produce it at home. In The Podcaster's Manifesto, Sarah Lemanczyk draws from her experience as one of the first professors in the United States to teach a dedicated podcasting course as part of a journalism curriculum. The book takes the mystery out of audio: what makes it different, where its challenges lie, and what makes it such an enticing medium to work in. The book prepares readers to participate in the audio world by introducing them to terminology, equipment, and best practices, and then demonstrating how to put it all together to create audio that is impactful, engaging, and rich-audio that people will listen to. Dedicated chapters help readers find their voice, write for the ear, edit audio, set up a home studio, pitch a podcast, and more. Written in an easy, humorous style, The Podcaster's Manifesto is an exemplary resource for programs and courses in communication, especially those with emphasis in audio and podcasting. It is also an invaluable resource for any individual interested in developing their own podcast.
