How long should your podcast episode be? To be honest, theres no right or wrong answer for this one.

Arguably the worlds most famous podcaster, Joe Rogan has episodes that are three hours long. Other podcasters have episodes between twenty minutes and an hour, sometimes more. Then you have something like this show thats only a minute or so.

The main thing to ensure is that no matter how long your episode, its 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 fifteen minutes with ads and shooting the crap, that's possibly fifteen 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. Thanks for listening.
