Pre-recorded intros are common among podcasts, especially those with multiple seasons. They may have a unique clip from the episode, but in general, they are templated and don’t require too much upkeep. Intros are great marketing tools that can snag new listeners, be turned into visual soundbites, and be used across virtually every social platform. Though there is some debate on the perfect length, 15 to 25 seconds is a sweet spot that gives you just enough time to present your show, topic, and a clip, while not boring the listener who is there for the show.
