The hour long podcasts go more in depth into a few topics. Since I didn't create the podcast and I'm just hanging out at the bar, I don't know which one it's conceived as. But it seems more comfortable as a discussion podcast focusing on just a few topics.
That said, and with no slight intended toward magus113, I do think it would be helpful for the host to keep an eye on the clock so that we don't spend too long on any segment. I think that each person's individual cocktail chatter story could probably have been disposed of in 5-8 minutes, for example.

Yeah, the good thing about me recording and also editing is that I can keep track of the individual recording time and if anything needs to get cut out I would know what can go or not. I'll be sure to keep that in mind this time around though.
