Podcasting for Dummies is available at Amazon (I've just checked).
From my experience of making youtube vids, the amount of editing required depends upon how competent - and confident, your speaking is. For example, if you tend to trip over words lots, or get at all muddled, then the editing will be considerable. On the other hand, if you have the clear, confident speech of a newsreader, your breathing is regular and the mic is properly positioned so that it doesn't catch any PTH sounds (try saying Peter Piper etc then She sells sea shells etc and listen to the playback), then the editing will be minimal.
Of course, there's a huge difference in the length of an audiobook and a youtube vid!
