Ever wondered how the (podcast) sausage is made?

 

In this slightly "meta" episode, I reveal the step-by-step process to make an episode of English Learning for Curious Minds.

 



  • Choosing podcast topics: interest, timelessness, and neutrality

  • Avoiding controversial topics and current affairs

  • Researching topics through books, articles, and data

  • Writing full scripts for natural conversation flow

  • Using a variety of vocabulary for diverse learners

  • Rewriting scripts after initial recordings

  • Aiming for 20-minute episodes, 2,500-3,000-word scripts

  • Incorporating AI tools for brainstorming and editing

  • Results from our 2025 listener survey

  • Thank you!

I always learn a lot from both you and your friend Tom Wilkinson. It is interesting to see people writing comments here learning English.
