You have seconds — not minutes — to turn a new listener into a subscriber. In this focused 15‑minute monologue PodRick walks you through a repeatable process to create a 30‑second show intro that does more than sound professional: it signals who you are, what listeners will get, and why they should stick around. You’ll get a tight script template, performance tips to sound authentic, music and licensing guidance (including how to safely audition CC tracks like "Bright Wish"), simple mixing rules to keep voice and music balanced, and a practical A/B test you can run in a week. No theory, no long rewrites — a timeboxed workflow you can complete in an afternoon and iterate from. End result: an intro that feels intentional, improves retention, and becomes a measurable part of your show’s growth toolkit.
