How long should my podcast episodes be?

Do I need to talk for an hour? Half an hour? 10 minutes?

How do people determine what length is right for them? How do you know how long your audience wants your show to be? Can having the wrong length for my show impact it negatively somehow?


I get it. There are a lot of different successful shows out there, but they are all different but you dont know which example to follow.


The answer that nobody wants to hear is, of course, “it depends”


Dont worry though, in this episode we break it all down. We’ll cover:


  • How to find out what length is right for you
  • Advantages and Disadvantages of each option
  • Impact on Listen Through Rate (LTR)

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
