The podcast scripting sweet spot (and the two ways people go wrong when writing their scripts)

from PodSchool

Reading a script, word-for-word on your podcast is the fastest way to disconnect from your audience. In this episode I share how to prepare for your record so you don't need a script, how to keep your delivery natural even if you've got notes and how to make sure you know where your going without having to write everything down, word-for-word. What you’ll learn Why scripting your episodes isn't a good idea The simple notes system I use to make sure I'm prepared but not wedded to a script How to make sure you're in the moment so you can record the best possible episode EPISODE CREDITS: Host: Rachel Corbett Editing Assistance: Josh Newth LINKS & OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF: Find out how to work with me here Download my free podcasting guide Check out my online podcasting course, PodSchool Click here to submit a question to the show Email me: [email protected] Follow me: Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok or check out my blog or the PodSchool website.
