Podcasting Advice
After establishing Twenty Ideas for a Great Podcast in Notes to self about podcasting, FrogBody bullfrog, Carson McComas relents:If you have something important/valuable to say, get something out there. It may not be perfect, but if you've got great content, some omissions from the above list are tolerable.His advice includes suggestions to be brief (he says 30 minutes is too long), don't get too serious, add humor, find someone to help and someone new to interview, add music, etc. To reinforce the lessons, he lists a couple of podcasts that he thinks present good examples.
If anyone is writing scripts for podcasts, I'd like to hear from you. What is this type of writing is called, if someone's created a neologism for it. [podcasting]

Hi, Georganna,
I used to think it was better to do brief podcasts too. However, my experience over the past 8 months tells me that it doesn't matter how long a cast is. What matters is whether people are interested in the subject and the guest--period. Go figure.

I'm not writing scripts for podcasts yet, but it's one of my goals.
As a rule, I think podcasts should be kept brief. However, I think there is validity in Paula's comments.
Thanks for this post.
I listened to a long one recently just because it was Stephen King speaking. Too much of it was call-ins from fans gushing, rambling, but that was worth waiting out to hear King's responses. The moderator did interview him, too.
