What can be covered in a meaningful fashion in podcasts that last just 60 seconds?
Quite a lot, it turns out!
The inspiration behind our ‘Worth a Minute’ podcast was the realisation that a significant amount of content can be communicated memorably and effectively even in just 60 seconds.
A time-limited format of this nature creates its own focus and intensity while also creating exciting opportunities for experimentation and innovation.
Furthermore, it also provides a great opportunity for you to try your hand at creating a podcast episode of your own by taking part in our ‘Worth a Minute’ Podcast Challenge, as explained below.
