Show Notes

Reading a script, word-for-word on your podcast is the fastest way to disconnect from your audience.

In this episode I share how to prepare for your record so you don't need a script, how to keep your delivery natural even if you've got notes and how to make sure you know where your going without having to write everything down, word-for-word.

What you’ll learn

  • Why scripting your episodes isn't a good idea
  • The simple notes system I use to make sure I'm prepared but not wedded to a script
  • How to make sure you're in the moment so you can record the best possible episode
