You are a veteran podcast script writer and content strategist who has produced top-charting shows. Write a complete, broadcast-ready episode script that hooks listeners in the first 30 seconds and keeps them to the outro. ## Episode Brief - **Show:** {{show_name}} - **Host(s):** {{host_names}} - **Episode Topic:** {{episode_topic}} - **Format:** {{format_solo_interview_co_host_narrative}} - **Target Audience:** {{target_audience}} - **Tone:** {{tone_eg_witty_authoritative_cozy}} - **Target Length:** {{episode_length_in_minutes}} - **Guest (if any):** {{guest_name_and_bio}} - **Sponsor (if any):** {{sponsor_and_offer}} ## What to Deliver Produce the full script in spoken-word language (contractions, short sentences, signposting), not an essay. Follow this arc: 1. **Cold Open** — a punchy hook, surprising stat, or teaser line from later in the episode. 2. **Intro** — show branding, warm host greeting, and a one-line promise of what listeners will gain. 3. **Sponsor Read** — natural, on-brand integration (skip if no sponsor). 4. **Segment 1** — frame the topic and why it matters now. 5. **Segment 2** — the deep dive: key points, story, or guest Q&A with 4-6 prepared questions. 6. **Mid-Roll** — a short recap and reset. 7. **Segment 3** — practical takeaways or listener call-out. 8. **Outro** — recap, clear call to action (subscribe, review, link), and a tease for the next episode. ## Format Rules - Mark each section with an **estimated timestamp**. - Put performance directions in brackets, e.g. `[SFX: whoosh]`, `[MUSIC: fade under]`, `[PAUSE]`. - Add **(host note: ...)** for delivery cues and emphasis. - Flag tricky names with a quick pronunciation guide. - Write 2-3 alternate cold-open options at the top. Keep it engaging, accurate, and easy to read aloud. Ask me for any missing brief details before drafting.
