Best Ways to Write a Podcast Script? 

Scripting keeps episodes organized without a lot of wasted time. The host though needs to be able to communicate in a way that doesn't sound like it is being read

I told my listeners from the rip that I'm not doing any editing. I told them I'm going to speak as if they were in from of me so I can't edit myself in person so I'm not going to do it behind the computer. Since my podcast is both informative with episodes that have storytelling, I will list bullet points for myself for the more informative episodes.

Great tips. I script to make sure there's repurpose sound bites for social media. I am trying to find the balance between structure and very conversational.

Thanks so much for this. As my podcast is comedy, storytelling, I always script. I incorporate many sound effects, recording on four tracks. I generally do one segment or script page at a time. As I record, I always end up making changes in the dialogue and sound effects. When I do, I write "Fix T" for "fix transcript" at the top of each page. I generally go to my transcript file and make the edits after finishing a page. (Better than trying to decipher my handwriting at 4 AM before I upload.) Scripting works well for me with storytelling. I have done radio for decades and found that with interviews and just disseminating info, bullet points worked best for me. I found that allowed me to concentrate less on what I was going to say or ask next, therefore letting an interview flow more naturally.

I write the bulk which keeps me on track and then I can stuff it with fillers in between. I also run through it multiple times so I can just talk without looking at the screen so it sounds natural. Of course I'm also a writer so I think that makes it a little easier for me. I also get hammered on scotch. 🤣🤣🤣

Great job, got right to point and lots of good info

I have always scripted my shows, and use most of the content to repurpose for my blog post. BTW - it was great meeting you at BLK Pod Festival.

I script my episodes, except for my most recent one. It was pretty impromptu. I prefer scripting, though, especially when the content is more in depth.

Thanks for this!

Thank you for this

Thank you that was very helpful, think I'll do a combination of the outline and a script.. best of luck to you😎👍💯

Good stuff. I'm trying to do an interview podcast that is pretty open floor, and I am wondering how to wrap the interview without being clunky.

This is lovely

Great Information thanks so much

How long does it take to learn soft?

I script my podcast word-for-word because I want to get every detail in, it being an art description podcast. I've never had trouble sounding natural because I'm a former theater kid, lol.
