How long should your podcast episode be? Is five minutes too short? Is 90 minutes too long?

This episode will help you decide for yourself.

Is my episode too long, or too short, is a question that even seasoned podcasters ask themselves.

Some podcast episodes are best suited at 10 minutes or less, others are best if over an hour but the long and short of it is all down to your content.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer for every single podcaster, but I’m going to share csome considerations to help you decide how long your episodes should be.


  • Content Relevance
  • Audience Preferences
  • Podcast Format
  • Consistency
  • Listener Retention
  • Podcast Goals
  • Editing and Production Quality
  • Platform Limitations
