DanI’m often asked how long a podcast should be and I really hate that question because there is no right answer, just a bunch of speculation.
I’ve heard podcasts that go for 7 minutes right up to 1 hour, talk based podcasts, music podcasts, talk and music podcasts etc. There’s a podcast out there that’ll see you through a workout at the gym or cooking some 2-minute noodles.
DanI often get comments on the broadcast standard of my audio. So I’ve made a quick video for you below that shows 2 things that I do to ‘treat’ my raw podcast audio to really sweeten it up.
Interested in the software I used in this video? You can get a trial version of Adobe Audition here (be sure to get the right version for your operating system PC or MAC).
Or if you’ve got a few hundred dollars to spend you can pick up the full version over at Amazon. If you’re serious about your podcast editing and post production then you will not regret it (I’ve been using this software for 10 years and I’m still in love with it).
If you are interested I also offer a complete “done for you” approach to podcast production. Click here to find out more

DanThe secret to creating truly captivating podcast content is to know what your audience wants and then serve it up! A common mistake that I see content creators make is thinking that THEY are the ones to judge what’s good content or not.
Wrong. It’s the audience that judge the strength of your podcast content, not you. They do this by how many times an episode is downloaded, listened to, subscribed to etc.
DanA format determines the structure of your podcast. In other words, a format decides what events will occur and the order of these events in each episode. Deciding on your podcast format is something you should do before you even open your microphone to record an episode. When someone asks me to explain how a format works I use this basic analogy of chocolate eggs (sorry I’m always thinking of food!!)
