Summary
How to write a podcast summary?
One of the important things you have to do before publishing your new episode is to give it a title and a powerful summary or description.
How should the podcast summary look like?
- A user has access to a lot of information in a short time. If the text is too long, he will get tired of it and look for another podcast. The name itself says it, su-mma-ry.
- You should attack all the main and most interesting topics, with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6.
- People tend to scan, so the important information and the conclusion should be highlighted as soon as possible.
- If there is a launch, a big news or an interviewee, you should introduce it.
- Don’t forget to include a call to action that encourages the user to listen.
- As with the title, the content of the summary will rank both in global search engines such as Google and in the search engines of Podcast platforms such as Spotify and Apple.
