Episode 15

How long should your podcast be?

"How long should my podcast be?" is a question that stumps almost every podcaster. And it's one they spend way too much time worrying about because the answer is simple. The ideal length of your show is the ideal length for your content.


There should be no fluff, no additional crap, no rabbiting on for 20 minutes before you get to the good stuff.


In this episode, I talk about why the right length for your podcast is often shorter than you think and why you need to be respectful of your listener's time by only including the best of the best.
