Podcasters Ditch Short Episodes in Favor of Four-Hour Conversations

Hello again. Welcome back to Soundbite. Today we’re discussing the idea of long podcasts, as in those that run for upwards of three hours. Are people listening? As always, reach me through email, and if you haven’t yet subscribed to this newsletter, please do so here . Tell a friend to sign up, too.

As I reminded you all last week, we’re nearly a month out from our team’s second annual Screentime conference in Los Angeles on Oct. 9 and 10. Lots of executives and creatives, including Rob Stringer, chairman of Sony Music Group, will be attending. Producer Jason Blum will sit for a Hot Ones live taping, and I’ll be there interviewing the chief executive officer of OnlyFans Ltd., Keily Blair, and comedian Whitney Cummings. You can learn more and get tickets here .
