What to Include in Your Episode Intros

Quick Daily Podcasting Tips by Alitu

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about what to include in your episode intros. There are few “rules” in podcasting - it’s a creative medium, after all. With that said, you can really optimise the intro of your episodes if you include the following things. Firstly, let the listener know who they’re talking to. So, whether you go by your real name or a nickname - introduce yourself. Next, - the title of the show. You might assume they already know it. But they might be working through a huge playlist of new podcasts they’re trying out. Then, crucially, tell them who it's for and what’s in it for them. So, the overall podcast topic might be “to learn Spanish”, and the subject of this episode might be “ordering at a restaurant”. We’re going to cover this in more detail on the next episode when we talk about hooking your listeners early. For a deeper dive on this topic, head over to https://www.thepodcasthost.com/strongstarts
