You could split the podcast into part A and B! Alternatively, try making your podcast a little shorter as the average attention span isn't that long and it seems people prefer short and concise podcasts: <a href="www.richardfarrar.com/how-long-should-a-podcast-be/" rel="nofollow">http://www.richardfarrar.com/how-long-should-a-podcast-be</a> Hi,

I am beginning to record podcasts to post to my Wordpress blog. The recommended plug-in is called WPaudio but I heard that it only allows up to 8 megs per file. Using 64 kps, I am looking at about 1 meg a minute. My podcasts will be around 45 minutes long -way too big. Any advice or other suggestions for a very simply designed Wordpress plug-in? Or, because I am using Podbean to store (host) my podcast files, it doesnt matter except for load times. Thanks! I am so glad I found this post.

I'm gearing up for my first few podcasts for my blog, and your little tidbit about the BBC has helped convince me that 64bps will be just fine, since my stuff will be almost all voice. As you say, if it's good enough for the Beeb, it's good enough for me! Thanks for the informative survey of the choices available.
