10 practical guides

Podcast scripts and production

Shape trailers, introductions, recaps, transitions, and corrections around the listener.

Small pieces of podcast narration shape how an episode feels. An opening makes a promise, a transition restores context, and a correction tells listeners exactly what changed. These guides help you write those pieces with the same care as the main conversation. Start from your real episode material, choose one job for each segment, and listen to it beside the surrounding audio. Keep promotional messages accurate and clearly identified, and save reusable scripts with the details that need updating.
