Building in Public with a Podcast: Need some feedback

Hi folks

I've recently started to build in public, as recently I decided to take a 3 months break from the formal job obligations.

One of the mediums that I'm planning on using is Podcast, for a couple of reasons:

• I want to develop my overall ability to speak and storytelling. I know that Podcast is a more free-style thing sometimes. And also, improve my overall pronunciation
• I can convey more information then Twitter - while being natural (not yet, as I'm still quite uncomfortable with recording myself eheh)

The first long episode is on air today, it's 17 minutes long - but I'd appreciate anybody that's going for a jog and maybe don't mind listening to it. I have a lot to improve.

Some general questions:

• I didn't use any background music, intro, etc... Anybody misses that? I don't mind putting it, but I'm trying to keep this as lightweight as possible.
• Length: 15 - 20 minutes is what I'm thinking. Is that too long? Should I split into shorter episodes?

The episode:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1791861/8637378-update-thursday-01-the-kickstart

It should be available also in most of the Podcast apps, just search for:
"The Solo Journey"
