How do you write for your podcast when you’re “not a writer”? A lot of podcast hosts are drawn to the audio medium because they have always felt they can express themselves better and more easily through speaking than through writing. In this episode, Mary shares how a lackluster introduction to writing in her youth spurred her into radio—she wanted to speak instead of write! Then, she discovered that radio and podcasting still call for a fair bit of writing.

Facing that demon created the a-ha moment that led Mary to fine-tune a writing-for-speaking approach that works and doesn’t leave you dreading every keystroke. Your podcast writing doesn’t have to be clunky, like grammatically correct prose so often sounds when read aloud. If you use your awesome speaking skills to craft your written words, then the writing you need to do for audio projects can elevate your creation and enable you to speak with spirit.

Let Mary talk you through these podcast writing insights:

• Why using both sides of your brain results in your most authentic podcast writing
• How intentional brain dumps and organization can relieve that writing stress
• One word you should always use to captivate your target audience
• Why writing for your podcast is freeing rather than restricting
