401. 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. Should you mention the difference in length?
