One or Two Part Episodes?

by

I am currently wrapping up production on new episodes of The Force Field. The problem is the next episode contains over two hours of interviews that need to be edited down to about thirty minutes. The topic is about women in IT and there is a lot of interesting discussion. I have edited down the interviews to about 45 minutes and could edit about 10 minutes more. I did ask the same questions in case there were different views and the answers were somewhat similar but there were some different approaches to the responses.

The question is, should I keep it tight and try to edit them both into one half hour show or break them up into two parts? I never considered a two part podcast before and I do not know if breaking it up will hold everyone’s interest or would bore them. Since the show is a new type of media for a new type of audience I really do not know if a two part topic would hold everyone’s interest or not.

I could easily just crank out shows with all this content but I believe in quality, not quantity and I want to deliver the best quality show I can. What do you think? I welcome everyone’s feedback as it is your show.
