Self-Publishing Podcasts

Since getting my smartphone last year I’ve been spending my commutes listening to podcasts. There are a lot out there, but I’ve managed to find a few that I particularly enjoy.

I’ve found three podcasts that I use to keep on top of the industry, pick up marketing tips, and generally connect with other writers.

The Rocking Self-Publishing Podcast was one of the first that I followed. Presented in an interview format, its host Simon isn’t a writer, but a voice actor and narrator. It’s very professionally presented, and Simon is able to establish an instant chemistry with his guests. Bonus: Simon interviewed me for his program, and the interview should air on March 6th, so look forward to that.

The Self-Publishing Podcast is hosted by the Collective Inkwell and Realm & Sands authors Sean Platt, Johnny B Truant, and David Wright. Three authors that do tend to focus on both writing and the business of their publishing, when they manage to focus at all. It’s a lot of fun to listen to, and the interplay between the hosts is very entertaining. I’ve found that their business and creative aesthetic meshes well with my own.

The Creative Penn makes a great compliment to the above two podcasts, having more of an emphasis on marketing. Thriller author Joanna Penn has an amazing voice, and an interview style similar to, but distinct from, Simon’s. I’ve only been listening to her recently, and I’ve got many archival episodes to catch up on.

Next week I’ll introduce you to a few non-writing but very funny podcasts. In the meantime, if you listen to any writing, book, or publishing shows you think I should check out, let me know in the comments.
