How long should your podcast episodes really be? This is a burning question for many aspiring podcasters, and while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, understanding your audience and content can guide you toward the ideal length. Braden emphasizes the importance of knowing who you're speaking to and when they might be tuning in—whether during a commute or a workout. Listen and learn about the the importance of understanding your target audience's listening habits, how to deliver a focused message without distractions, the benefits of both short and long-form content, strategies for inspiring action in their audience, and the importance of recapping and summarizing key points to enhance listener retention.
