The Down & Dirty Truth About Episode Length
Manage episode 409072670 series 2633070
Okay... what's up with these hosts who love to talk like they're determined to rival Tolstoy with their marathon episodes? (looking at you, Joe Rogan đ)
There's this trend going on right now where 39% of episodes are clocking in over 40 minutes. But that doesn't mean listeners are listening that long.
So basing your episode length off some random google search for "how long should my episodes be" or copying other hosts and making your episodes as long as theirs might actually be causing you to lose listeners.
The perfect episode length ultimately comes down to your listener's specific preferences â which is why inside this episode, I'm going to you how to figure out exactly how long *your* episodes should be based on your unique listener data.
Ready for your listeners to do the work for a change and tell you exactly what they want? Hit play and letâs dive in.
