326 - Crafting Killer Podcast Intros & Celebrating Wins

What makes for an outstanding intro? How do you kick off your podcast? Today, we’re answering a listener’s question from the virtual mailbag and sharing our visions of what an ideal podcast intro should sound like. We provide tips on the duration of your intro, whether to include background music or not, and how much background information can be shared about a guest without losing your audience in the first few minutes. If you’ve been thinking of ways to keep your audience hooked from the get-go, we’ve got you covered. To wrap up another fantastic week, we each take a turn sharing our wins and celebrating each other’s accomplishments.

*Quick Announcement!  During the summer, we’ll be taking Mondays off! Please tune in every Tuesday-Friday and let’s talk all things podcasting!*
