Regular updates for busy people.
You want to keep in touch with your audience or community each week but not make it difficult for them to find the time. Use a regular 20 minute format to share industry updates, news, advice, skills development and personal tips.
A conversational interview can take 15 minutes to warm up before you get to the gold dust. So this 20 minute format is host-driven. It’s for when you know what you want to present and can jump right into it.
Swapping duration for frequency can fit well for certain audiences. The average concentration time for an adult is around 20 minutes. Beyond this our minds and ears need a break, so depending on your show format you can find that audiences do not listen with full concentration.
Feeling like we’re able to keep up and fully participate is a key ingredient in regular listening. It’s a real conversation so no one wants to miss the end of the last one.
