Episode 486 - How Long Should My Podcast Be - Four Answers Every Podcaster Needs to Hear

There’s no single answer to “how long should my podcast be?”—but four main schools of thought offer clarity for podcasters weighing this choice. A well-reasoned, audience-focused approach will help creators find their ideal episode durationFour Perspectives on Podcast Length

• Follow Industry Norms: Most podcasts fall between 20–40 minutes. Research shows this range is comfortable for the average listener, matches commute times, and maintains attention for interviews, news, and storytelling without feeling rushed or drawn out.

• Content Determines Length: Aim for episodes that are “as long as they’re interesting.” A focused 15-minute episode is ideal if it’s packed with value; a deep-dive narrative or nuanced interview might warrant 60+ minutes if the story truly demands it. Never pad or rush for length targets.

• Audience Habits First: Consider listener lifestyles: shorter episodes (10–20 minutes) work for busy professionals or daily shows; longer formats (45+ minutes) suit dedicated fans or episodic, immersive storytelling. Always review download data and listener drop-off to refine timing.

• Consistency Matters More Than Duration: Predictable episode length builds listener habits and brand trust. If project constraints or audience feedback make certain lengths a better fit, stick to what works for you and stay consistent

Clear Suggestion for Podcasters

The quality and value of your content should drive episode duration—not industry averages or arbitrary rules. Start with 20–40 minutes if unsure, test audience engagement, and adjust based on feedback and your production realities. Be concise and purposeful, but never force an episode longer or shorter than its best version demands___

Episode 485 - New Paid Coaching and Training Plans for Podcasters - Quick Podcast Launches, First 10 Episode Releases and Ongoing Podcast Support

Hey - so, I had a listener reach out and ask if there was a way to jump the line instead of listening to all of the free content on The How To Podcast Series and what it would cost to work with me as a podcast coach - so this sent me down a path of creating something that I would love your input on...

I want to create a quick launch, get you set up with a trailer episode, your artwork, podcast name and description within 24-48 hours

I want the next level for podcasters to get you from episode 0 to episode 10 over a 6-12 week process

I want the next level for podcasters to grow in the double digits - episode 10 to episode 99

Then - for podcasters with episodes in the tripple digits - episode 100 to 999

This will be a hybrid of group coaching, one-on-one support and beyond

I am looking for podcasters at each level - I will work with a handfull of podcasters for free - I only ask for your feedback, a recommendation for my website and help with pricing.

If you are interested, I would love to connect with you
