I try to keep mine around 20 minutes, which I think is a reasonable time. I never did necessarily like hour long podcasts where people just ramble on, but that's me. griever - glad to be of help. Shifting from one format to another can be difficult. For example, I shifted <a href="http://dna2.calculusman.com/index.php/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">an old fansite about the series DNA<sup>2</sup></a> into a wiki which took quite a bit of time - but I thought it was more suited for that since it's such an old series, there really isn't much new to update about, and this allows other people to expand and add stuff as well.

I would rather listen to regular 5 minute podcasts than infrequent 45 minute podcasts. I like podcasts shorter. I would rather listen to regular 5 minute podcasts than infrequent 45 minute podcasts.

Amazingly, it takes about 4 to 5 hours to make a 20 minute podcast, from collecting the content to recording to editing, etc. lol I have hard enough time carving out the time to do a 20 minute one.

For the advertisers? I do have an account with the text links people, but alas, no one has advertised yet. I guess it's not surprising since I've only had it for about a month and with my traffic, but we'll see about that eventually. I'll see how that works before jumping into anything else first I think. lol, what customers? For the advertisers?
