You've got a fantastic guest, a great topic, and enough material to fill an hour-long podcast. But does your listener actually WANT an hour? When it comes to podcast episode length, there's a lot more to consider than how much you have to say.
In this episode of Just One Tip from Your Podcast Performance Coach, I'm diving into a common question from podcasters - how long should a podcast be? And I'm giving you a whole new way to contemplate the answer to that question so it is custom to you and your podcast.
We'll look at why a 90-minute episode might be a terrible fit for one audience and exactly what another audience is looking for.
Plus, I'm sharing five practical ways to deliver more value without making your episodes unnecessarily long, including:
Making sure you deliver what your episode promises
Preparing your guests so conversations stay focused
Getting the warm-up out of the way before recording
Asking better questions (and getting out of the way!)
Editing out the stuff your listener doesn't need
We'll also talk about why consistency matters and what happens when you suddenly start asking your audience for a whole lot more of their time.
If you've ever wondered whether your episodes are too long, too short, or just right, this one's for you.
