The Perfect Podcast Episode Length? Here’s the Real Answer
Episode Length: What Really Matters (and What Doesn’t)How long should your podcast episodes be? There’s no universal rule — the ideal length is simply as long as your content stays valuable. Don’t stretch an episode to fill time, and don’t cut it short if the substance isn’t there yet. While most listeners prefer episodes between 15–60 minutes, data shows huge variation across genres. What matters more is consistency, a clear format, and releasing episodes your audience can rely on. Bottom line: let content, not an arbitrary number, dictate episode length.
