I kind of like it when they are a long.

That doesn't sound right...

Do something whilst you listen to it. So instead of just sitting doing nothing whilst you listen to it, listening to it improves something else.
I listen to it when I'm on the train to University. It's about a 50minute ride, so it's something to listen to on the way there.  If there's something you have to do every week which could be made better by listening to the podcast, listen to it then.
Or listen to it before bed for 20 minutes. Over the course of a week, you'll get through it, and then there'll be another one ready for you! Plus their soothing voices will put you into a state of sleepiness! Especially Brad's. I wish my voice was like his :(

If you like listening to short amount at a time, like I said, listen to it before you go to sleep for 20 minutes or so over the course of a few days.

Yeah; just because it's an hour and a half, doesn't mean you can't listen to it for an hour. And if you only listened to half, you'd get the same exact information as if it were only half as long to begin with. I think that makes sense.

If you are just listening to them they can get a bit boring after a while, but I tend to do something else while listening. I'm usually browsing the web. The other week I was listening to the bombcast, browsing the web, watching TV and reading a book at the same time.

yea. They can be a little lengthy at times, but they're always entertaining(I think), and it's perfect listening material while playing MotorStorm, I've found. :P

Listen to the bombcast while doing something else.  I clean, lift weights, or play video games while listening to it. 

About the title...

That's what she said.

Like 1UP Yours I am happier the higher the hour count goes.  But only on certain podcasts, the good ones with funny informed people.

Bombcast must not be shorter.  Just use FFWRD.

I like a lengthy bombcast. Like many others already have said, do something else while you are listening to it. I enjoy listening to it while working out, when I'm playing games that I've already played so much i really don't mind not having the sound on anymore while playing (N+ is a good example).

So yeah, in my opinion the length is good. Heck, i could even go for longer bombcasts.

I can only play Super Mario Galaxy while listening to podcasts.  Shame because the musical score is pretty good, but if I have to hear that idiotic voiceover for Mario ever again, hooting and wooping to every fucking movement I'll kill the Wii, then kill someone with it's husk.

I like where it is at time wise. Its a nice compromise between too short and too long. IMO.

And Brad's soothing tones are enough to turn a man.


...  I mean, it'd be possible.  It's not happened.

I dont know what the problem is... don't listen to it all in one sitting, don't just sit around while listening to it (I play games, surf the web,  workout/jog, chores)

I like the length of 1up Yours, which is traditionally more than two hours long. I love long podcasts, and when I download one that's less than an hour, I feel sort of short changed.

Same here :P

Anyhow, for the TC, I only find Bombcasts too long when they border on 2 hours, but the only ones that have, are the E3 Bombcasts. Even then, I'll always listen to the end, I love the Giantbomb crew.
