401. Should Podcast Episodes Have a Consistent Length?

Listen Later

Unlike traditional broadcasting, there are no "show clocks," scheduled ad breaks, or rigid time slots for podcasts. So should you care about publishing episodes of different lengths?

While I think episodes don't have to be the same length, there are some considerations.

2. Don't force a length
3. Should you mention the difference in length?
