My dad listens to podcasts on his desk (sometimes) as he is interested. I guess Also anshul, I guess it will feel long to people who aren’t interested that much.

Audio Production remains a sore point for me. Now that the podcast hosts are improving their setups, I think the sound quality is starting to improve. A lot of it though will depend on how prep-work we do before we start the show, and we really need to work on that. I'm not aware of any way to "tag" mp3 files - Apple allows AAC files to be bookmarked, but this works only in iOS devices. In addition, short of using youtube to host the mp3 files - there may be no way to have a URL that also includes a time-stamp. I think guests are a great idea, although we might want to do guests every alternate show - that allows for regular topical discussions as well.

The length, I guess, needs to be tuned to the average commute ride, accompanied with a marketing push suggesting folks listen to it on their commute. Guests are a good idea.

It is not long if one listens to it on commute or while driving. It feels ridiculously long if one tries to listen to it at their desk :-) Can we have guests to come on the show? Like folks involved in Indian startups, localization or open source software in India. A guest plus chit-chat on the latest tech news, war stories and gadgets could be good refreshing content.
