This podcast is by itself a indispensable listen for anyone interested in podcasting. But to understand it fully you should also pick up a copy of the book Podcasting, by the two hosts of this podcast, Martin Spinelli and Lance Dann. For Your Ears Only summarizes the findings of the excellent book, and gives us privileged access to the interviews conducted in the process of writing the book.
