Comments on: Freelance Radio Episode 4

By: Podcasts should be short. 30min is actually too long. Unless it's just jam packed with goodness, life is too short and it requires too much attention.

AN HOUR AND 40 MINUTES??? That is not a podcast! You are all great but I am going to have to unsubscribe if the next one is as long/as big a file/takes as long to get to something valuable. You are taking advantage of the medium, not using it to its full potential as you may think. If you were a radio show you would be on after 2 AM.

I think you have much to contribute but I think your format is going to make people think otherwise. Why not cut the next one into two episodes? Makes them shorter and gives you more content to push out on a regular basis. You could even send people to the website (where they could look at your many projects, etc.) for part 2 if they wanted it right away.

I don’t know. It’s late, and I have made this post like the show: too long, rambling and straying off the target.

Please - you are talented, shorten the show.

Thanks.

Hello there!

The podcast is awesome - makes you wanna go freelancing big time:) which is what I hope to get to in some time.

About the TPS - yes it does exist and where I work (which is a major white goods corp) it stands for Team Planning Session. Basically it’s a brainwashing tool that’s supposed to make you “share the vision” and “integrate with team mates” and be happy and motivated (doesn’t it sound like some psychoactive substance?).

How about that?

I am very much enjoying the podcasts, however I would like to wade into the too long / too short arguments and proffer the opinion that they are getting too long. One hour in length would be fine and dandy.

Otherwise, carry on what you are doing. I like the personality, the structure and the relevance of the show. Hurrah.

So.. I’d vote on the “It’s too short” option in the going poll. Keep it up, I find the postcasts a lot of fun and very interesting to listen to!

Are you guys crazy - make it shorter?!

No way i absolutely love listening to the conversations and insights and personally don’t care what length it is, i’m too busy enjoying it! I listen during work or before i go to bed, it relaxes, entertains and informs all in one go!
