Where to begin? There are so many things wrong with Kent's pitch that I'm almost drowning here. I guess we'll start with the fact that Kent fails my Google test for podcasting. His name doesn't appear with the word "podcast" anywhere on the first page of search results. It gets worse, though. His name does appear many times, but not in the most flattering way.

Sounds to me like Kent is an expert in a lot of things. Just not podcasting.
I was going to go through Kent's post point-by-point, but I think his pitch speaks for itself. Kent is clearly a huckster and not a podcaster. If you feel like spending $27 on a podcasting book, buy 2 of s. At least he's an actual podcaster.
Hi Jon,
I have read Kent Sayre's podcasting book. It isn't as bad as you think. It's very good for you if you're new. It won't be valuable for you if you're advanced but it is helpful for us newbies.
thank you,
Roger
