The 5 Key Elements of an Effective Podcast Intro

As discussed in class on September 15, I will be listening for each of the 5 key elements of an effective intro in your shows (more so in your episodes #001 and, if applicable, #002, as opposed to episode #000).

For more on these elements, and how they’re are incorporated inside the intro of a podcast, you can view the brief video below.

 

 

To view each of these elements and how they fall across the timeline of your first minute or so of your show, you can view the Prezi slide presentation via the link below. It will zoom in to each of the elements as you advance the presentation.

Welcome to Introduction to Podcasting

Before the semester comes to a close, you will have launched a podcast out into the world. And, when I say “Out into the world,” I mean it.

Your show will have the potential to be heard in about 150+ countries around the world.

After class ends, assuming you’ve completed your assignment, you’ll have an introductory episode (#000) and your first three full episodes (#001 – #003) live on the web.

Going forward, it will be completely up to you as to whether or not it continues. Either way, I think you’ll learn quite a lot about yourself and your creative abilities while in this course. You will be pushed and challenged to get outside your comfort zone at times.

It is my belief that life is only truly lived in those “stretch” moments.

Are you with me?
