I would suggest the interview be no more than 40 minutes, allowing 20 minutes for Q&A. Hard Stop at 60 minutes. Other critical, un-answered questions could be answered by Mike online at a later time if desired.
Consider parsing a 45-60 minute interview/tech discussion event into 4-6 shorter segments with specific topics that are more easily searched and quickly viewed. With some editing, any Q&A specific question/response to one of the segments could be appended to that video segment.
I agree with 30 minutes for information and then up to 30 minutes of Q & A - as long as questions pertain to subject of original information in webcast.
I follow several rv forums, I get bored with video or listening just to glean a few minutes of info.
If your setup allows you to create a transcript that would be helpful as I could read for what interested me.
One of the most frustrating things are facebook reels that have a teaser then never show you the teaser with no way to fast forward. Or ones that require to click through a multitude of slides with out getting to the teaser such a waste of time and no exit without clicking back through the slides.
If the question/answer segment goes beyond 30 minutes, perhaps they could be posted in written format. Problem with that is that it would put more load on you, time wise.
Irrelevant to me. I do not watch pod casts, ted talks or ytubes. I learn faster and better from written word. Never mastered learning from Verbal/videos and time spent not efficient for me. Obviously not the case for others.
One variation I’ve considered is writing a long-form article first (3,500 words) then using this as a reference for the live streamed video interview. Thoughts?
I like that thought. Specific subjects for each - not wide ranging articles or webcasts. Wide ranging ones could "bury" what I'm specifically looking for for in the middle. I find people are usually looking for specific information or help with a specific problem so the narrower the focus of each, the easier to parse.
I voted 30 min. The interview itself should be about 30 min. Then another 30 min of Q & A.
An hour of information is long enough, by the end of the hour everything starts getting foggy as in to much information.
If you have more information to share do a part 2
Some subjects may need more time. A second episode is the answer.
This is how I would recommend your video format with a transcript available for us visual learners.

Too many sound bites these days, do what it takes without being boring.

Great idea the article to accompany web cast. Like text book before ( or after 😉) lecture.

Transcriptions are easy. I can also generate a link list to jump to separate topics within a webcast.

30-45 minutes max. If it takes longer do a two part podcast.
Sometimes after 30 minutes information gets repeated and off topic. I chose up to 60 as some topics take a longer to get rolling.

Thanks for all you do!
