Podcast intros FAQ

How long should a podcast intro sound be?

For most episodes, one to five seconds is enough to feel branded without delaying the conversation.

Do podcast intros need music?

No. A short chime, stinger, ambience hit, or vocal reaction can mark a podcast segment without using a full music intro.
