PODCAST TIP
A bullet-point script is a flexible outline of key topics, transitions, and cues—written as short prompts instead of full sentences. It’s the sweet spot between winging it and sounding over-scripted.
Advantages:
✅ Natural Flow: Keeps your delivery conversational.
✅ Easy to Adapt: Add/remove points on the fly.
✅ Less Stress: No memorizing—just guide yourself.
How To Create One:
Start with Structure:
Intro: Hook + episode preview (1-2 bullets).
Main Points: 3-5 topics max (1 bullet per idea).
Outro: Recap + CTA (“Subscribe for…”).
Write Like You Speak:
Use fragments, not essays:
“• Story: How I failed at ”
“• Data: Surprising stat about ”Mark Key Moments:
(Pause) for drama
(Energy up!) for emphasis
(Transition: “But here’s the twist…”)
Include Safety Nets:
Backup questions for interviews.
Time checks (“15-min mark: wrap up Topic A”).
