How to Structure Your Podcast Episodes


Listen Later

Structure isn't always the sexiest subject to cover. But when you think about it, if we didn't live in a world with some semblance of structure, life would be chaos.

Likewise, a podcast without structure will come off as chaotic to your audience. Listeners come to depend on a certain level of predictability with the shows they follow. And for you, having a structure in place for your episodes will allow you to deliver content in a desirable way, get more listeners hooked on your efforts, and maximize your creativity from the beginning of your podcast to the end. Plus, structure will simplify your post-production efforts, allowing you to focus your time on other initiatives that help your podcast grow.

In Episode 52 of Pod Theory, I'm going to share some insights on how to structure your podcast episodes. Whether you record solo, feature guests, or have multiple co-hosts on the mics, following a basic structure will make for a better final production. Your podcast is your pulpit for storytelling...and a good story, from front to back, always has structure.
