Publisher's Summary

From the number-one New York Times best-selling McElroy Brothers, creators of the hit podcasts My Brother, My Brother and Me and The Adventure Zone, comes a helpful and hilarious how-to podcast guide covering everything you need to know to make, produce, edit, and promote a podcast...and get rich* doing it! (*Results not guaranteed.)

Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy made their names as “advice giving brothers who have no business giving advice” (New York Times) on the hit podcast My Brother, My Brother and Me. But while they may not have the best relationship or workplace advice, they certainly make you laugh, and they do know a thing or two about podcasting.

In fact, the McElroy Brothers have spent the last decade making podcasts, including My Brother, My Brother and Me; The Adventure Zone; Sawbones; and more. From their start, independently producing and releasing the early episodes of My Brother, My Brother and Me, to their 11 currently available podcasts, the McElroys have become experts in creating successful podcasts. And now, they want to share what they’ve learned with you.

In Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You), the McElroy Brothers will walk you through the process of turning an idea into ear candy for legions of fans, sharing their expertise on everything from deciding on an effective name (definitely not something like My Brother, My Brother and Me), to what type of microphone to use (definitely not one from the video game Rock Band), to making lots and lots of money (spoiler: you probably won’t).

A must-listen for anyone interested in podcasting, Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You) shares the keys to success as well as the mistakes to avoid and draws on the vast experiences of three of the funniest and most successful podcasters working today.

Insightful and delightful

I have worshipped at the altar of the McElroy family for several years now, and I would happily consume any kind of product they’d produce. HOWEVER, this book is phenomenal and funny and incredibly informative even without my bias clouding my judgement. Fourteen out of ten would buy again. Absolutely adorable.

Maybe not for me?

I've never listened to the McElroys podcasts so it might just be that I don't "get them". That being said.....
There is nothing in this book not found on the first top ten tips for starting a podcast you find with Google. In fact most podcast hosting platforms have a how to section that is just as good.
Furthermore, using Google does have the extra advantage that it will save you from hearing their terrible jokes, and recording.
Jokes: I understand humor is a personal thing, but the number of cringey, eye roll inducing quips in this book was exhausting.
Recording: For a book by audio experts, how was the soundscape so jarring?! One person would stop talking, there would be a big gap in the sound then the other would start and it was distractingly different in sound.
It sounds exactly like it would if everyone was recorded separately, on different equipment and with different editing approaches and then someone just dropped those recordings in order without a second thought. I've listened to multi cast books before and have never noticed a change in sound before. I kept saying out loud "These guys record for a living! How did this happen?"
I had a bunch of nitpicks about the content as well but I've said my piece. If you like the McElroys and could use some more of them in your ears then this book would possibly be good for you... if not, learn from my mistake and stay away.
