Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about planning your episodes. Great podcasters and terrible podcasters both have one thing in common - they make it sound like they haven’t planned their episodes. For the great podcasters, it’s because they plan them so well. For the terrible podcasters, it’s because they don’t plan them at all. An episode plan doesn’t need to be an in-depth dissertation or treatment. It’s more about asking some top-level questions like “Why this topic right now?”, “What problem will this solve for my audience?”, and “How will this provide value?”. When we cover scripting, we’ll talk more about how you bring that plan to the recording booth. But before then, we want to take a look in the next few episodes about fleshing out those ideas. You want to create compelling and shareable content that your listeners will love, right? Well, make sure you’re subscribed to Pocket-Sized Podcasting in your listening app of choice, and those episodes will drop into your feed the minute they’re published!
