Podcast Playbook

How long should your podcast episodes really be? This is a burning question for many aspiring podcasters, and while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, understanding your audience and content can guide you toward the ideal length. Braden emphasizes the importance of knowing who you're speaking to and when they might be tuning in—whether during a commute or a workout. Listen and learn about the the importance of understanding your target audience's listening habits, how to deliver a focused message without distractions, the benefits of both short and long-form content, strategies for inspiring action in their audience, and the importance of recapping and summarizing key points to enhance listener retention.

Don't miss:

• Determining your podcast episode length depends on your target audience's listening habits and preferences.
• Longer episodes can be beneficial for deep connections, while shorter episodes offer quick, digestible content.
• Focus on delivering one core concept per episode to maintain clarity and engagement.
• Consider your content's intention; whether it's to inspire action or simply entertain affects length.
• Use short clips from longer episodes to attract listeners to your full content.
• Always prioritize delivering valuable insights and actionable takeaways over arbitrary time limits.
