Find Your Podcast Prep Style That Actually Sticks
How do you prepare before you hit record? Do you plan every detail, keep a loose outline, or just hit the red button and go? Today, we’re sharing how we approach preparation and how those choices shape creativity, confidence, and the listener experience. We give tips on making a script sound natural, and why there’s no single right way to plan a show. You’ll also gain insights into time management and maintaining fresh ideas. Ultimately, it’s about showing up ready to create.
