EPISODE 158 - A Podcast Intro Checklist - Start Your Podcast Episodes The Right Way With This Guide

Making a great first impression matters! Your podcast intro is no different. As the first thing listeners hear from your show, it can determine whether they keep listening to your podcast or bail and go listen to one of the millions of others instead. You got them this far — maybe through word of mouth, your reputation, or your killer cover art — now it’s time to seal the deal.

And while first impressions get most of the glory, the final impression can be equally important. Your podcast outro is your chance to turn first-time listeners into subscribers. Get them excited about your next episode, and let them know where to find out more about the episode they just heard, follow you on social media, and so on.

Here are some guidelines that you can reference when constructing your next podcast intro!

Remember - your next episode might just be a new listener's first time hearing your show - they know nothing about you, the many episodes that you have recorded in your past, they only know you right here, right now - your intro should be welcoming and warm!
