What makes a good podcast

• Time - Each episode should be short (15 minutes or less); Each topic should be less than 5 minutes; Episodes of your podcast should appear on a regular basis either daily, weekly or monthly.
• Subject - Offers an insight that hasn't been exposed in print; Provides users with information that they can't find elsewhere; Gives take-away tips, instructive; Informative and educational; Timely topic.
• Style - Conversational (features more than one person); Glitch-free (plays without interruption); Make sure speakers are animated; Give the podcast a personality. Listeners want to hear a person behind the microphone, not just a voice.
• Music - Keep theme music brief (about 10 seconds); Use good quality music; Comply with copyright issues.
• Labeling – in sound; Tell us who you are; Create a brief introduction for every episode that includes the name of the episode, the name of the series, the name of the producing entity, and the date of production.
• Labeling – for upload; Use all available ID3 tags (name of podcast, time/length, artist/producer, album/producer, and genre), subject and summary; Provide a short descriptive headline that explains what the podcast episode will be about; Provide written transcript / outline of the podcast; Include links to other resources.
