Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.

The tool on the cover of Podcasting Hacks is a bullhorn or megaphone. Useful at such events as sporting contests and protest rallies, the megaphone amplifies a single voice over the loud din of many voices. Its small size and simple handheld design make for a highly portable device. A high-end, 25-watt megaphone can be heard at distances up to 1,000 yards and typically includes such features as a built-in signal alarm and foghorn.

Adam Witwer was the production editor and Audrey Doyle was the copyeditor for Podcasting Hacks. Sada Preisch proofread the text. Matt Hutchinson, Marlowe Shaeffer, and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Lucie Haskins wrote the index.
