INSTAGRAM IS TESTING

Instagram is testing 90-minute videos in the feed, and I think it's a big deal for anyone sitting on long-form content. Until now, a short clip on Instagram had to send people somewhere else for the full conversation. If the full episode can live right on the platform, your clips become a path to it instead of an exit. I put my podcast on pause at episode 250 to figure out how I want to approach it going forward. I'm sitting in my new podcast studio right now, waiting on the equipment to arrive. When the show relaunches, the plan is to record long form and cut it into short pieces, using AI clipping tools that even score which moments have the best shot at going viral. My guess is Instagram rewards this. Content that keeps people on the platform longer tends to get more reach. It's still a test and it hasn't rolled out in Canada yet. Keep your eyes on our IG for updates.
