What Would You Want In A Podcast?
By Jesse | January 14, 2008 |
I’m considering starting up a Cigar Podcast, but I don’t want to be like the other guys who all run great podcasts. Here is kind of what I’m looking.
- A short weekly/bi-weekly podcast of 20 to 30 minutes.
- Cigar Education: Focus on one aspect of a cigar and explain a little about it. Example: What are Connecticut Shade Wrappers?
- Interviews
- Co-hosted by other bloggers or just random people I pick up out of my local cigar bar.
- Cigar of the week
- Insane Smoking Bans/Government Policies
I’m open to suggestions here, and want to know what you’d like to hear. I’ll be buying the equipment in the next month or so after some other bills are paid.

I like the idea. There are plenty of cigar review podcasts, some of which TOUCH on cigar education, but it would be nice to have one DEDICATED to cigar education with a touch on a cigar of the week, which, of course, would would exemplify the main education point (i.e. have a Connecticut shade wrapper).

This is just one man’s opinion, but there’s nothing short about a 20 or 30 minute podcast. Personally, I never make it through them. There are some good podcasts and videos out there, but I would prefer them to be shorter. I just can’t and won’t devote 30 minutes to it. Some sites do video reviews of cigars which is a neat idea but they are always too long. I think 5-10 minutes of good, focused discussion or an interview is great but a half hour is too long for internet content. Even 10 minutes is starting to push it a bit for me. That’s my $.02

Matt, how do you typically listen to your podcasts? At the computer or on an MP3 Player?

Exclusively on my computer in iTunes. I don’t sync them to my iPod.

I’m with Matt on this one since I listen most of the time on my computer. I don’t think I have ever made it through a full podcast that was over 10 minutes besides when I’m on a flight. Good luck with what ever you do Jesse, looking forward to them.

I agree with Matt, Jesse. 20-30 minutes is far too long. I’d try to keep it to 3-5 minutes.
