I enjoyed listening to them. I will say that the ones that were most successful were the ones that were “written” or “scripted.” Podcasts thats employ a stream-of-consciousness approach can be difficult to follow and tend to be overly long.

If you believe that podcasts that are scripted tend to feel overly formal, you might employ a hybrid approach next time: Create an outline that prompts you to discuss certain points. It does not need to be a word-for-word script, but it may provide you with some guidance with regards to how you’d like podcast to flow.
