What Is a Podcast Script, and Why Do We Need One?

A podcast script is simply a plan for the podcast that outlines the main topics in a sequence. Based on your feasibility and the type of show, it can be detailed or include the essential things. However, the majority of podcast scripts adhere to the following basic format.

Intro

L'introduzione dovrebbe interessare il pubblico quando inizia ad ascoltare i podcast. Quindi qui darete un caloroso benvenuto ai vostri ascoltatori, pronuncerete alcune frasi rompighiaccio, darete la vostra introduzione e presenterete battute provocatorie sui podcast.

* Consulenza professionale: non rivelare tutto; Mantieni un po'di mistero per attirare il pubblico fino alla fine.

Presentazione degli ospiti

Le presentazioni degli ospiti sono cruciali, perché se gli esperti parlano di questo argomento, le persone ascolteranno attentamente. Quindi, dai il benvenuto educatamente ai tuoi ospiti, menzionando il suo nome, carriera, risultati e background (se correlato all'argomento).

Notizie sugli sponsor

Ogni marchio ha una serie unica di preferenze; A volte ti danno una sceneggiatura che devi seguire parola per parola, mentre altre volte ti lasciano decidere da solo. In entrambi i casi, il messaggio dello sponsor dovrebbe apparire naturale e integrarsi con il layout del tuo programma. Inoltre, uno script di informazioni sugli sponsor persuasivi motiverà gli ascoltatori ad acquistare prodotti di marca, aumentando così il numero di sponsor, una situazione vantaggiosa per tutti.

Vai avanti

Quando ci sono più frammenti in un episodio, la transizione può essere commutata senza soluzione di continuità da una clip all'altra. Ad esempio, potrebbe essere un brano musicale, una frase, un'animazione, ecc.

Sommario:

Dopo aver ascoltato molte informazioni, è difficile ricordare tutto. Pertanto, al fine di facilitare il pubblico, riassumere l'intero evento e modificare i punti chiave.

Outro

It's time to acknowledge the listeners and guests for their precious time. To tie listeners to your show, you can mention references, make announcements, and reveal the topic and air time of the upcoming episode.

Call to action

A straightforward call to action can boost the reach of the podcast. Here is how?

Invite the audience to leave a review, share their thoughts about the topic in the comment section, and show your availability to interact with them and answer their queries.

Why do you need one?

Having said that, let me tell you why writing a podcast script is crucial before you hit the record button. First, having a podcast script will simplify things for you and your guest, as you'll know the next point already; otherwise, you will make a mess.

Averting unnecessary gaps and saving time requires planning the segment order and making a list of the main points to discuss. The script ensures you stay on topic and organized to keep listeners interested. A well-planned podcast also requires less effort in post-production. So if you want a streamlined recording experience, take your time and craft a top-notch podcast script.

How to Write a Podcast Script?

I modelli di script podcast forniti sopra sono molto flessibili, quindi puoi personalizzarli per soddisfare le tue esigenze e usarli per aumentare la tua produttività durante la registrazione di episodi. Quindi prendetene uno e andate nel vostro studio.

Anche se potresti avere molte idee per modelli personalizzati, assicurati di prestare attenzione agli elementi elencati di seguito quando crei script podcast.

(1) Selezionare il frammento del podcast

Podcast segments vary widely depending on the podcast format; therefore, choosing your components wisely is crucial. However, to keep your show consistent, you should stick to a few essential ones, such as the introduction, discussion, and outro.

In addition, you can include extra segments, like rapid fire, if you want to spice up the show.

(2) Tell A Story

"After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world." - Philip Pullman.

We all enjoy stories, but producing one is far harder than listening to one. Consider delivering the dialogues in your podcasts like a story, no matter what kind. Podcasts with a narrative format are popular because listeners' interest grows as the story unfolds. Hence, keeping them curious to find out what happens next.

(3) Mark-ups your script

A script devoid of notes is merely a piece of paper with text. "Mark-ups" is the practice of adding notes to scripts on specific elements, such as giggles, emphasis, pauses, etc. Being humans, we have emotions; therefore, adding emotions to your script will help your podcast sound like a casual, enjoyable conversation.

Here is an example of an annotated podcast script taken from the " Lower Street " website. As you can see, it depicts where to adjust the tone, take pause, put emphasis, etc. Also, you can annotate your writing in your style by adding certain symbols or utilizing various font styles.

(4) Always Close with A Call To Action

You are coming to the crucial section that will help expand your fan base. The Call To Action (CTA) is typically included in the outro, but you can experiment by placing it after the intro part. Whether it's an offer to join the group or a way to sign up for your newsletter, present it as simply as you can.

Bonus: Pro Tips to Nail Your Podcast Scripts for Beginners

Starting out the journey in the podcast world may not be a piece of cake for everyone. But don't worry, as we are going to reveal some pro tips to nail your podcast script without much effort.

How do I write my first podcast?

Writing your first podcast script can be challenging, there's no doubt about it, but if you keep the following ideas in mind while writing, you can produce a good one.

(1) Avoid saying, 'Subscribe or follow wherever you get your podcasts!

The audience should be given a straightforward task, which we have stated many times previously. There is a high likelihood that people will ignore you if you ask them to "Subscribe or follow wherever you get your podcasts" or something similar.

Make sure to properly guide and simplify the task for the listeners if you want them to fulfill it. The links to other platforms where your podcast is available can be either attached in the notes section or included in the podcast itself.

(2) Don't overdo it with CTAs – it's good to have a range, but stick to one or two per episode.

Sometimes podcasters get overenthusiastic and stuff each episode with CTAs. That's insane... Right? Respecting your audience's time is just as crucial as getting views; failing to do so will result in losing them.

It's good to have a range of CTAs, but stick to one or two per episode and try the rest in future episodes. It's okay to repeat that one or two CTAs a couple of times during the episode to increase the probability that viewers will follow through.

(3) Mention that it's free to follow or subscribe

Along with the CTA message, it's a good idea to mention that following or subscribing is free. However, people may think they need to pay to subscribe because everything is shifting to a charged model from a free one.

(4) Know the animating question of your podcast episode, and focus on answering it

One of the most effective ways to keep the listeners interested throughout the episode is to communicate answers to their questions about that topic. The animating question is that a specific part of your episode answers an existing question. The key to finding the animating questions is "Research," which will help you focus on the answers listeners want to hear.

Podcast script Hot FAQs

Sometimes the curiosity of people frightens me. Anyway, please don't bother yourself, as it's not a quote—just a random thought. Folks often come up with questions about podcast scripts; hence, the answers to those queries are provided below.

1. What podcast format is most popular?

The "Interview" podcast format is currently the most popular. Experts are invited and interviewed to acquire their opinions on a topic in an interview format.

2. What makes a good podcast script?

The discourse on a podcast should feel human rather than robotic; thus, the script should provide some flexibility for improvisation. However, beginners often prefer a word-for-word script with all the information ready to deliver.

3. Do you need to have a podcast script?

It's not a hard and fast rule to always have a podcast script, especially if you are a pro. But a bit of planning and organizing things beforehand can simplify your workflow.

The Bottom Line

The crux of our discussion is that a compelling podcast script makes it simple to put ideas into action when your ultimate objective is to create high-quality content. Decide a format for your podcast if you haven't yet, pick up the script template accordingly, modify and mark up as per your needs and you are almost done.
