Happened upon Dale’s podcast during my research on “review swap” sites. Very informative and helpful. I stuck around for the following episode and now will be scanning Dale’s back catalog. A well put together show!
Dale’s podcasts are always useful, succinct, well researched, and well thought-out. He is the go-to man for all things self publishing.
There is no waffle, only straightforward, helpful information for publishing everything from eBooks to print books to audiobooks. he keeps the community updated with the latest news, and his sheer enthusiasm is infectious.
Stumbled across Dale’s podcast this morning & decided to listen on my daily walk. Learned more in 1 hour about putting a plan together for audiobook launch than I did in the last few weeks trying to dig up info on my own. Very grateful new big fan!
