I really like about 30 minutes for a quiz show like this. The latest episodes have tended to drag a bit (including when I was a guest). I enjoy listening, because I know you guys pretty well, but I think the brisker pace makes the overall experience better.
I like podcasts that are between half-an-hour and one hour. I don't usually listen to podcasts that are longer than two hours unless I'm traveling because I prefer to listen to them all in one go rather than stop midway through and start up again later.
I haven't listened to the Harry Potter audio books but any exposure to Stephen Fry's voice is something I need to indulge in. My favorite audio book ever is Lolita as read by Jeremy Irons. Seriously, I thinks it's better than reading the original book.
But then you risk cutting down my whimsical stories and observations. Unless you just cut the whole show and left the whimsical stories and observations. You'd probably have to change the title though. /ego
I really forget which HP audiobook dude I enjoy. As for the bidding war, I come back from my vacation to see this message from Ravelry:
Hi Rosaka,
My husband heard you on ATW9000 talking Harry Potter & knitting/crocheting. He came home and made me listen to it immediately. I sent you an invitation to the Harry Potter Knit/Crochet House Cup. It’s a fantastic Rav group and you might want to check it out. Absolutely the coolest, most creative, most supportive knitty/crochety HP geeks there are.
If you have a chick on the show that's what happens. Note all the Emily love when she appears.
I'm actually just teasing. We've been getting quite a few "OMGZ WE LOVE YOU" notes. I'm not jelly just because people specifically seek out Ro IN STRANGELY OBSESSIVE WAYS.

I know, I'm just pointing out the fact that females get freaking stalked when they appear on podcasts.

They do, which I don't mind. I find it interesting how they find me. I know I mentioned it on Twitter, but not sure if I did here, but I received a message from a down under person on XBL. My XBL username can only be found on these forums. I'm pretty sure I don't have it posted anywhere else.
A good idea, that. The contestants need to promise not to simply practice on pony listings beforehand, though; that would ruin it. It should generally be a surprise.

OK you see thought my lies. I've only gotten messages from dudes. Ugly dudes. Who want to date Jason.
More ponies. Lots more ponies.

However, I like your encouragement. I will be glad to represent the Everlasting Elation of Endorsement for Equestria.
I just tried it myself and I got 21 ponies.
