podcast trailer is grateful and potential listeners what your show is about as well as helping promote your show across social media newsletters and elsewhere how long should a podcast trailer be well one thing you remember is it's not the same as a podcast introductory episode an introductory episode is more like a normal episode and can last anywhere between five and ten minutes a trailer on the other hand is short punchy and is meant to act as a quick way for you to tell listeners what to expect from your podcast
Ideally, a trailer should have who you are, what the podcast is about, what listeners can expect as takeaways, how often you publish, what days you publish and where to find your podcast. The length of time can vary, but most effective trailers are normally between 60 and 90 seconds. That's long enough to get across what you need and short enough to keep it punchy.
Until the next time, happy podcasting. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy One Minute Podcast tips, be sure to share with your friends and other podcasters so they can enjoy it too. Until the next time, happy podcasting.
