From <40 minutes to >1h40, it is not the same stuff. The question is: why? More news? More text?
The question is: I want to listen to your pocast because it contains all of the info but I need to find a big period of free time or... could you divide it into two parts, every 15 days?
Thanks for the feedback! It's true that the episodes have gotten longer, both because we added a segment (Retroviews) and because Mike and I are getting more comfortable with the recording process and thus tend to be more talkative. We feel that 100 minutes to last an entire month is reasonable; we certainly don't expect anyone to sit down and listen to the entire show at once! That's one reason why we break the show into segments, with the time indices noted in the MP3's ID3 tags and the blog's show notes.
That said, we want to do our best to accommodate our gracious listeners and not bore them. From your message, it sounds like the best way to do that is to cut content -- if we just split the episode in half and offer it twice as often, it's still the same quantity of podcast.
What is the longest you want an episode to be? Perhaps we can keep all the segments but just keep cutting from the raw footage until we make it under a certain limit. Or is there a particular segment that we should focus on shortening or completely dropping?

Thanks, Ken.
I think I've probably talked too fast. It is not that you talk too much but as 1/ there are so much things to say and as 2/, Mike and you, are confortable and 3/ I am impatient to listen to an entire episode in one row, I think I have to find ways to divide my listening.
Using segments is a good thing and I'll do that.

No, don't misunderstand my wording. Don't cut contents, just teach some listeners (me) how to listen to a podcast :-)

All sections are interesting.

I thank you again for your answer and I believe the right thing to do is that I sit comfortable in a chair and relax, listening to a segment of your podcast.
