How to practise podcast intro and outro scripts

  • Lead with the promise of the episode, not your biography.
  • Keep the recurring intro under 30 seconds; put details in the episode-specific open.
  • Record intros last, when your voice is warm and you know the episode's best moment.

Every script page includes a teleprompter that scrolls at your chosen words-per-minute pace, with optional recording so you can hear your take straight away.
