Frequently asked questions

Why should I time my podcast?

Timed podcasts are more listenable. Research shows listener retention drops significantly after 35–45 minutes. Timing each segment keeps you focused and prevents rambling, which is the #1 listener complaint.

Can I adjust the segment lengths?

This template uses a 35-minute format ideal for interview podcasts. For solo episodes or longer formats, use TimedFlow's professional mode to create custom segment sequences.

How do I see the timer while recording?

Put this page on a second monitor or tablet near your microphone. Use fullscreen mode for a large, easy-to-read display. Sound alerts are optional — mute them if recording.

Need more than a template timer?

TimedFlow gives event producers, speakers, and teams professional countdown displays with remote control, multi-screen sync, and backstage coordination.
