The Podcasters Podcast How Long should a Podcast Episode be? Podcasting FAQ's
Join Ash and Kane as they answer some Podcasting FAQs including what the perfect episode length is and how to monetise your podcast. They also discuss why being authentic and creating valuable content is always an essential, but sometimes forgotten, step.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- How long should your podcast episode be? It depends! Most educational solo content should be around 15 minutes. Interviews can generally be longer.
- Once you have been podcasting for a period of time, your analytics will point to what length your episodes should be, it will also indicate if your content needs tweaking or editing.
- There are two key ways to monetise your podcast, either through sponsorship or indirect sales.
- Niche audiences with a high value can generally get more sponsorship.
- You can get sponsorship before you even start your show, but you need to go out there and work for it.
- Your iPhone is probably good enough to video you to start with and the only other things you need are a dynamic mic and wired headphones.
