    Replying to @andrewpclark
    Agree. But I think the issue here is that a lot of podcasters don't segment well enough, and so 25 minutes+ often gets really dull.

    Conclusions of this (for those who like podcasts): • Keep it short • Get a good mic • Give new insights and information • Keep it short

    Talk to me about podcasts! What do you like about them? Why? Why not? Anything specific that stands out? Also: favourite editing apps?
