I was chatting with my podcast editor, Mitchell, about Pub Songs & Stories. Right now, I am just keeping up with the monthly episode. It works. I can collect enough stories and publish the podcast once a month. But that's IF I do it like I am currently. Three stories plus songs by me.

He suggested moving to a shorter format. I could put it out weekly. But the episodes would be shorter. One song from me. One guest story and song. That's it.

The podcast started out that way. It was definitely manageable early on. So I could probably work out a method to accomplish that. It might even make it easier for listeners to get straight to the artist they want to hear. 

But before we get to that. What do you think? Do you like the current format, running in at 30-40 minutes? 

Or would you prefer more frequent updates every week that would be 10-15 minutes long?

I would probably prefer shorter and every 2 weeks, but I’m weird.

Good to know. Thanks Jamie. That actually might be the best starting point. Doing the short episodes I'm thinking about, I have three I could finish up rather quickly. Putting them out every two weeks would work well right now at least. That'd get me back on a more frequent basis. So we shall see. :)

And as of now, the vote is split right down the middle. LOL. Keep those votes coming. Meantime, I'm gonna test out the shorter episodes. My current thought is to have two guest artists per month. And then on the 3rd episode, I can sing and highlight one of my songs. Should be an interesting test.
