Send us a text In this episode, I address a common question: 'How long should your podcast episodes be?' I explain that the ideal length varies depending on the type of podcast and audience preference. I recommend around 45 minutes for guest interviews, but my preference is to keep them to 25 minutes to ensure they are focused and actionable. Health-related podcasts might benefit from being around 30 minutes long while solo episodes can be as short as 10 minutes. I emphasize the importance of tailoring the length to your content and audience, and not being afraid to deviate from norms. 00:07 Determining Podcast Length 00:27 Guest Episodes Duration 02:36 Solo Episodes Duration 03:58 Content Creation Tips 05:11 Final Thoughts and Encouragement If you're a coach, consultant, course creator, service provider, or author, and want to launch your podcast to grow your business and audience and amplify your message, I have a podcast launch guide that will help you set the tone and foundation for your podcast. ➡️ https://learn.hellocsdorsey.com/ 💼 Ready to grow your network, amplify your voice, and actually plan collaborations that move the needle?
