How long should your podcast episode be?
To be honest, there's no right or wrong answer for this one. Arguably, the world's most famous podcaster, Joe Rogan, has episodes that are three hours long. Other podcasters have episodes between 20 minutes and an hour, sometimes more. Then you have something like this show, that's only a minute or so. The main thing to ensure is that no matter how long your episode, it's as tight as it can be.
Cut out any extra stuff that doesn't really add to the episode. So, if it's an hour long, but you spend the first 15 minutes of ads and shooting the crap, that's possibly 15 minutes that isn't needed. Your listeners only have so many hours in the day and yours won't be the only podcast to listen to, trust me. So make it compact and with no filler. Until the next time, happy podcasting.
