Podcasting Tips Weekly : The Power Of A Great Introduction

SHOW NOTES

Your podcast’s introduction sets the stage for your entire show. It’s your chance to hook first-time listeners and set expectations. While every podcast has its own style, every hit podcast has a strong intro. A weak intro can cause potential listeners to tune out before your episode even begins. So how do you craft one that works? 

  • The two types of podcast intros you need – A short, consistent show introduction and an engaging episode-specific hook.
  • Why shorter is better – Avoid long intros that make listeners skip ahead.
  • The power of a strong start – Hook your audience immediately to boost retention.
  • Cold opens and when to use them – Only if they truly add intrigue and value.
Don’t let a weak intro lose your audience—tune in for expert advice on crafting the perfect start to your podcast!
