✍️Write Better Show Notes with AI🤖
Are you tired of your podcast show notes sounding robotic and lacking your personal touch? Do you find yourself spending too much time crafting them, only to feel dissatisfied with the result? You’re not alone. Many podcasters struggle with this aspect of their content creation process. But there’s a solution that’s changing the way podcasters approach their show notes. Read on for tips provided by Ashley Feller, a member of the NextGen Podcaster community.
Tailored AI Drafts for Content Relevance
Ashley’s method involves tailoring AI drafts to ensure they capture the essence of your content. By guiding AI to focus on key insights, you’ll receive show notes that truly reflect your podcast’s message and style.
Smart Editing for Time Efficiency
We all know time is precious and with Ashley’s approach, smart editing powered by AI streamlines the show note creation process. No more wasting hours tweaking every sentence—let AI do the heavy lifting while you focus on creating compelling content.
Engaging, Crisp Notes That Resonate
The ultimate goal of show notes is to engage listeners and provide them with valuable insights into your podcast episode. Ashley’s method ensures that your show notes are crisp, clear, and resonant with your audience. It’s time to write to show notes that grab your audience and get them listening.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to implement Ashley’s method in your own podcasting workflow:
1️⃣ Begin with a ChatGPT draft:
Initiate your writing process with ChatGPT, crafting the foundational ideas of your content. Use a prompt like, “ChatGPT, help me draft an outline focusing on [topic], emphasizing key insights.”
2️⃣ Critique and refine:
Engage in self-critique using ChatGPT to refine the draft, honing in on precision and engagement. Prompt ChatGPT to “critique the draft and suggest focused improvements”.
3️⃣ Streamline your content:
Instruct ChatGPT to cut the fluff, ensuring your message is clear and concise. Try a prompt like, “ChatGPT, make this draft more concise by removing unnecessary details.“
4️⃣ Polish with GrammarlyPro:
Move your refined draft to Grammarly Pro for an advanced polish, focusing on readability and style. Utilize Grammarly’s style guide to infuse your unique voice into the content.
5️⃣ Final touches and publishing:
Give your content a final review, ensuring it aligns with your brand and voice. Then, share your masterpiece with the world.

🛑 Why People Stop Listening to Your Podcast
Ever hit record on your latest episode, poured your heart and soul into crafting compelling content, only to wonder why your audience isn’t sticking around? Turns out, there’s more to podcast engagement than meets the ear. Today, I share some valuable insights straight from the trenches of podcasting that could help you change your approach.
Perfect Your Audio Quality
You might have the most insightful discussions or fascinating guests, but if your audio quality is subpar, you’re fighting an uphill battle. Invest in top-notch equipment and prioritize crisp sound above all else. Remember, your message is only as impactful as its clarity. Don’t let poor audio quality sabotage your hard work. Try out a tool like Auphonic and hear the difference!
Trim the Fat on Intros
We get it – you’re excited to get right into the heart of your podcast. But here’s the thing: your audience is too. Cut the fluff from your intros and get straight to the point. Your listeners are here for the content, not a play-by-play of your day or a lengthy guest bio. Keep it concise, keep it engaging, and watch your audience retention rise. For more details on how to get this right, check out my last blog full of tips you can implement right away.
Authenticity Trumps Virality
In a world obsessed with going viral, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters: authentic connection with you and your guest. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing viral moments at the expense of genuine dialogue. Your listeners crave authenticity, not fake excitement or another viral conversation. Focus on fostering real conversations with your guests, and let your authenticity shine through.
Mastering these subtleties can mean the difference between a podcast that fizzles out and one that captivates an audience for the long haul. So, the next time you hit “record”, keep these insights in mind. Strive for great audio quality, trim the excess chat from your intros, and above all, stay true to the authentic essence of your podcast. Your audience will thank you for it.
