The first 30 seconds of your podcast is by far the most important. The average attention span of adults has gotten shorter over the years, thanks to the barrage of other easily available consumable content. Hence, it is vital that your podcast can capture your listeners’ attention immediately. This means that your podcast intro plays a crucial role in keeping your listeners interested in your podcast. As an audio production company that helped thousands of podcasts with their audio branding, we are always happy to work with different types of podcasts to find the sound the suits them.
