I have no real calibration scale for audio the way I do for text and video. I guess a typical song is 2-3 minutes long, but beyond that? What's the equivalent of a tweet? An essay? A book? What are the anchor lengths and their interpretations?

Single, EP or extended play and LP Long Play which is a full length album.

all those are music calibration points though... I suspect the podcast and music audiences are not the same

Safe to assume an album is the equivalent of a book. If speech is involved, I guess a finite podcast series? Like Caliphate or Containers

A snap is an audio / video tweet. 3-10 seconds on loop.

I find podcasts cluster in the 25 minute, 60 minute, 2 hour ranges. Probably influenced by TV.

Flash: 1-6 min
Bite-sized: 10-20 min
Commute Length: 30-60min
In-depth: 1-2hrs
Loooooooooooooooong: 2hr+
Most pods are bite or commute length. Flash is rare, usually daily or high concept. Bite can also be daily, or well scripted weekly.
