Podcasters, listen to this man
Thanks to Rob Donoghue for pointing this out…

That's Ira Glass of the This American Life radio program, talking about storytelling. It's in the context of his talking to YouTube viewers about producing video, but I think a lot of roleplaying podcasters can learn something from this.
I have to quote the same thing that Rob does… "Not enough gets said about the importance of abandoning crap." You have to be ruthless about cutting out the crap to get to the gems. I think most roleplaying podcasts could be at least 25-50% shorter and be the better for it.
