So why isn't the podcast longer?

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave. I've been

walking for fitness since 2013, averaging about 21,000 steps a day. I'm walking right now,

and I would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. Skies are clear. The temperature's

a little bit below normal for this time of year.

And as you can probably tell, it is windy in South Carolina.

So that makes those temperatures feel even chillier.

But all is well. I'm wearing my hoodie.

And it is a great, great day for a walk and I hope the

weather where you are is equally to your liking. Recently a listener left a review in Apple

podcast, very encouraging review, very positive review, but the last line of the review was something long the language of.

I just wish occasionally there would be an episode that is longer.

And I've heard that every now and then.

A listener will say, you know, I wish, why don't you go longer than 10 minutes?

And I actually find that very encouraging. But there is a reason, actually three specific reasons why this podcast is only

10 minutes. And so I want to address that today, if you would allow me to do so.

Reason number one, one of the things that we always do in radio and was forefront in my mind when I was part of the morning show is this idea of leave the audience wanting more.

In other words, turn the mic off before they turn the radio off.

I would rather you have the thought, I wish this was longer than, oh, please shut up.

Of course, you wouldn't say that.
