    Good content, but it is dated - recorded in 2014.

    I found a lot of useful info as someone BRAND NEW to podcasting. I did notice people pitching their business but I also understand people watching this would need help beyond this training. I do feel the technology is possibly out of date since we are 5 years out from this being recorded - meaning there are lots of options that have sprung up in the podcasting world like Auxbus and Anchor.

    I think this is a great course for a beginner to start off strong. I really appreciated that there wasn't too much repetition, each presenter had his own perspective. I was disappointed with the lack of diversity in the presenters - all four teachers were white men. That said, they had magical information, great energy, and generosity for sharing tips! This course is worth watching and worth the investment.

    It took four presenters to make a one-day class on Podcasting and when it really came down to it, all we needed was one. Mr. Dumas, who's given first billing talked mostly on business in general and as others have pointed out spent a lot of time hawking his thousand dollar program. All you really need is the four segments of Michael O'Neal. His contributions are the ones that truly deliver the course as advertised. Two others speak on mobile-friendly websites and text marketing (important enough I suppose but incidental to podcasting) and video podcasting. If you can get this course on sale, it's worth it for the O'Neal segments. Give the other sections a listen some time, but don't take them too seriously as the remaining speakers seem to be there for the promotional value. Definitely don't pay full price.

    There's something very "Get Rich Quick/Pyramid Scheme" about this course that' really turned me off and regretting my purchase. The best podcasts are ones that make you feel and think and are memorable. I should have done my research on the presenter before purchasing the course. If you check out his site, you'll see all you need to know about the content of these courses, that he values quantity over quality and money over meaningful content.

    Some good stuff here. That said there's a lot of sales / inspiration talk. It's nice to hear about motivation but more technical nuts and bolts would be much more helpful.

  • P. Oct 22, 2014

    The course was very informative and extremely well done. As a result, I will be incorporating my own podcast in the very near future. Thank you for the wonderful course.

    This motivated me into developing my own podcast show. Thank you so much for this class!
