A review of NL Hafta by Sreenivasan Iyer

In my opinion, NL Hafta should be shorter.

Here’s why:

The value of a podcast is in its information density. As a subscriber who listens to many podcasts and audiobooks, I feel the length of Episode 191 could have been cut down by half to 45 minutes.

Secondly, the subject of the podcast is around news. A podcast that helps me be a better writer, husband, cook, et cetera will be more useful. I have figured that 45 min a day is all that I should devote for news.

Here is how:

1) Know what will be said by others and rehearse for it.

2) Use a stopwatch and make rules for who speaks how much.

3) Don’t digress, no matter how funny or provoking it is.

4) Keep guest intros and recommendations under 30 sec per person.

I am sure there is a good reason behind your current format.

Thanks for reading. Keep up the good work.
