Podcast Script vs. Outline for Recording
Episode description
Do you read verbatim from a script or do you look at a loose outline when you record your podcast?
This is a question that many new podcasters want to know. So, I wanted to set the record straight...I do both! And there isn't a "wrong way" to do this.
I recommend you try both - reading a script and going off an outline - and then decide which way works best for you. It's funny because I've accepted the fact that scripts, outlines, show notes, and descriptions are a process in the evolution of a podcast.
If you compare the way I did things on episode #2 to how I do everything on today's episode #95, the results are night and day. Don't think that you have to have it all figured out. You just have to try.
Try reading a script. If you sound robotic, try something else.
Try going off an outline. If you lose focus, make it more detailed next time.
The point is to just get started in order to figure out what works best for you!
