Podcast Planning: Should You Use A Script, Outline Or Just Wing It [Ep 46]
Description
As a podcaster, you know that planning is essential. But when it comes to the actual delivery of your content, there are a few approaches you can take. Some podcasters swear by using a script, while others prefer an outline or just improvising on the spot (which I don't recommend).
In this episode, we'll explore this question in-depth and help you decide which method is right for you. So, are you ready to find out whether you should stick to a detailed script, loose outline or just speak from your heart? Let's dive in!
Tune in to this episode to learn:
- The difference between a script and an outline
- The benefits of using a script or outline
- The basic structure of a podcast episode
- Tips for sounding more natural when using a full script
