Are you constantly wrestling with the question of how long your podcast episodes should be for engagement and growth?

The ideal podcast episode length is not a one-size-fits-all formula. 

It depends on your audience's consumption habits, your content's nature, and the engagement level you're seeking. 

With podcasts ranging from quick 15-minute insights to in-depth discussions lasting over an hour, finding your podcast's perfect length can significantly impact its success.

Here’s what can go wrong when you don’t have the right podcast length:

Episodes that drag on beyond the listener's interest can lead to lower engagement.

New potential listeners might be deterred by episodes that seem too lengthy for their taste or too short to provide value, making it hard to grow your audience.

If your call to action is placed at the end of a long episode and most listeners drop off early, they might miss important action you want them to take.

Finally if content is not concise or well-edited it can lead to a perception of lower quality shows.

And that’s why in this episode you’ll discover: 

1. How to understand what your analytics mean and what changes to make in different situations.
2. Why you should consider catering the length of your episode to your audience rather than sticking to a rigid format.
3. And how to find out what resonates best with your listeners, ensuring they stay engaged and respond to your calls to action.
