How long should a podcast intro be?

20 to 30 seconds. Longer and listeners skip; shorter and you lose the brand moment.

Can I get a shorter “return from break” version?

Yes. Meloro can generate a 5-second stinger in the same key as your intro.

Should I record a VO over the intro?

Yes. Most pros use a 30-second musical bed with a 5-second VO tagline in the last section.
