Mark Twain on Short Speeches & Podcasts

Mark Twain once said, “It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.”

I also heard a it said it takes days to prepare a five minutes speech but an hour long speech only takes a few minutes.

I think the same is true of a short podcast.

This week of producing todayspodcast has certainly borne that out. I took the über podcaster, Adam Curry’s advice and came up a short podcast format, but I have been shocked how long it takes to prepare a short podcast. I love it though. And I think I am getting better. I would love to heat what you think.
