The bombcast is too short.

I have to say this: Bombcast is too long

Two hours can be a bit lengthy. But you don't have listen to it all at once. Over the course of a week, you should be able to listen to the entire thing. How busy are you really?
I do have problems listening to podcasts in a timely manner, but that's because I listen to several every week. If you're only listening to one, you shouldn't be having major problems finding time to listen.

I always get annoyed when hosts say "this has gone on too long" and end their podcasts. If it was a live show that would be one thing, but part of the great thing about a podcast is that I can listen to it in bits and pieces whenever I want. I understand they might not want to do a very long podcast and that's fine, but it makes no difference to those who listen and I'm sure most would say the longer the better with podcasts. I feel like some people who make podcasts don't really understand the strengths of the medium.
And hey, if you don't like a long podcast then don't listen to the whole thing. I will.

Maybe you should try actually working out at the gym. I don't think just driving to the gym then going home doesn't really count does it and no just sitting in the locker room starring akwardly at people doesn't count either Then mabye you could enjoy the awsomeness of the stream of consciousness that is THE BOMB......cast
There is just no way I can have the time to listen to everything in a week, even going to the gym and driving around...

I don't think it's too long. Like, I rarely get the chance to listen to the whole thing in one go... but you've got a whole week before the next one. If you can't find a measly 2 hours out of the 160+ between each podcast, then you must be one seriously busy guy.

Please, please GiantBomb, don't listen to the OP. The bombcast is too short, if anything. Other podcasts like ListenUP hit the 3 hour plus mark all the time. Seems like there already isn't enough time to hear about every relevant game of the week. The bombcast is one of the most interesting things this site does.
I say, keep them as long as they need to be. It's not like anyone is forcing you to listen to the whole thing.

Two hours is fine and I'm fine with longer then that every so often.
And I actually kind of like when they get off topic as well.
I don't really listen to it for the news or anything because anything especially important would be posted on the site anyway, I listen to it because it's funny.
Being about video games is just the icing on the cake.

Your complaining about too much content?
Nothing is stopping you from:
a) breaking up the podcast into more bite sized chunks for yourself
b) not listen to the full thing
c) having to listen to the Bombcast at all
Once you start you don't have to watch it from 0:00 till the end. The Bombcast helps smooths my workday; I wish there was more! :P

Here's a novel idea. Instead of complaining that the length of the Bombcast doesn't fit your schedule, and therefore the GB crew needs to shorten it for your enjoyment, why don't you shorten it by only listening to what you can? The Bombcast isn't a detailed story where you need to hear the whole thing to fully appreciate the arc of the plot. You can just listen to some of it and continue to lead a full life. I listen to a lot of podcasts and I don't listen to every second of each of them. I sometimes fast forward though parts, as well. Instead of demanding that the Bombcast be edited for your needs, why not try editing it yourself by using the fast forward button?
I don't think anything needs to be done to edit the bombcast's length. In fact, I'd like more Bombcast on a weekly basis, but I understand that the GB crew is busy running a website, so I am grateful for what they provide.
