Should Podcast Episodes Have a Consistent Length?
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. Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/consistentlength ## 1. What does your audience expect? ## 2. Don't force a length ## 3.

What's a Podcast Anymore?
This fundamental question that has been challenged and even abused: what is a podcast anymore? There's plenty of misinformation and disinformation out there about what a podcast is. My efforts to help set the definition straight may be fruitless, but there's more to consider here than only the meaning of the word. This is my 400th episode of The Audacity to Podcast, to to commemorate this milestone, I want to jump back to this fundamental question because how we answer it will affect the future of our content and even of the whole podcasting industry.
