Eric Rice :: How to build a 10 minute podcast


Mr Rose helps me refine what I'm doing in easily digestible chunks:

00:60 preview
The :60 preview is derived from the old rule of thumb for giving a presentation: Tell them what you're going to tell them (followed by 'tell them' and 'tell them what you told them') This is only 90 seconds into the podcast, and is the only time that needs to be invested if your specific show's topic is not of interest for the listener. After this preview window, a listener will either stay or go. (Note: this pertains to people who automatically download your show as opposed to picking your show a la carte based on the the show notes/show summary posted around your show on your blog or web site.
