You have been thinking about starting a show for a while now. Maybe it is a podcast. Maybe it is video. Maybe you are not even sure what format yet. You just know there is something you want to say, something you want to build — and you keep almost starting. This book is for you. Make the Show is a practical, plainspoken guide to building a real podcast or video show — from the first idea through launch, audience growth, sponsorships, and sustainability. No jargon. No magic formulas. No promise of a million downloads if you follow seven secret steps. Just the real work, explained clearly, by someone who has built 100+ shows.
You will learn how to:
• Define your show's promise before you spend a dollar on gear
• Choose the right format for your actual life — not your fantasy schedule
• Record, edit, and publish with what you have right now
• Name, design, and distribute a show that people can actually find
• Build an audience by earning the right people, not chasing everyone
• Structure episodes that feel built, not just recorded
• Work with guests professionally and protect yourself legally
• Get your first sponsors — and know when you are ready
• Use AI to carry the weight without losing your voice
• Build a show you can keep making when life gets complicated This book is especially for people who remember when shows felt like shows. People who watched appointment television, recorded mixtapes, and remember when MTV played music videos. People who have lived through enough media shifts to know that the tools change, but a good show is still a good show. You do not have to be young to make something worth watching. You do not have to pretend you were born online. You just have to make the show. The companion workbook — 39 worksheets, 13 templates, and a Show Bible Starter — is available separately at thatmikehamilton.com/workbook.
Start simple. Tell the truth. Keep going.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
