Show Notes

Your podcast intro is some of the most valuable real estate in your show.

So why are so many podcasters wasting it?

What you’ll learn:

  • How to avoid boring or losing listeners early
  • What to include (and cut) in your show intro
  • How to balance the needs of new and returning listeners
  • The one editing mistake that will cost you audience
