Podcast Episode Script — Claude Skill

Episodes that
listeners finish
and share.

Full script. Timestamped. Solo or guest. Repurposing map included.

Most episodes lose listeners in the first 90 seconds. This skill scripts the hook that keeps them in.

Podcast Episode Script is a Claude AI skill that writes a full podcast episode script — scripted intro hook, timestamped segments, guest questions, sponsor slots, CTA, and repurposing asset map.

⚡ Replaces 2–3 hours of episode scripting — runs in under 3 minutes.

Intro Hook · Scripted
Hook delivers the value promise in under 30 seconds.
[0:00–0:28] INTRO HOOK — SCRIPTED

Most founders think they should start with their origin story. Wrong. In this episode, you'll find out the three things investors actually check before they ever read your deck — and none of them are in the pitch.

I'm [Host Name], this is [Show Name], and this episode will change how you prepare for your next raise.
🎙️ Host note: Pause after "Wrong." Energy up on "three things." Keep it under 30 seconds — listeners skip longer intros.
Talking Points · Timestamped
Structured segments with host notes and sub-beats.
[4:30–12:00] SEGMENT 2 — The three pre-pitch signals

Talking Points:
• Signal 1: Your LinkedIn activity in the 90 days before outreach — what it says about conviction
• Signal 2: The "warm intro audit" — investors check who introduced you and why
• Signal 3: Traction trajectory, not traction level — growth rate over absolute numbers

Sub-beat: Use a real example — a founder who fixed this before their Series A.
🎙️ Host note: Slow down on Signal 3 — this is the counterintuitive one. Pause before the example.
Guest Interview · Questions
Questions angled for answers the guest hasn't given elsewhere.
GUEST QUESTION SEQUENCE — [Guest Name]

Q1 (opener): "Before we talk about what worked — what's the version of this story you haven't told publicly yet?"

Q2 (insight): "You've said before that [X] is overrated. What are people misreading about why you succeeded without it?"

Q3 (challenge): "A lot of founders listening would push back and say [counterargument]. What would you say to them?"

Q4 (closer): "What's the one thing you wish someone had said to you when you were at the stage most of our listeners are at right now?"
All four questions invite a novel angle. Avoid questions the guest has answered in other interviews.
CTA + Sponsor Placement
CTA timed at 70% mark. Sponsor slot native to show voice.
[~70% MARK] MID-ROLL CTA — SCRIPTED

If this is useful, the best thing you can do is share it with one founder who's heading into a raise. One forward is worth more than any subscribe button.

SPONSOR SLOT — [~68% mark, before CTA]

This episode is brought to you by [Sponsor]. I've been using [Product] for [specific use] — [one genuine sentence in host voice]. [Sponsor offer link.] Go to [URL] — I'll have it in the show notes.
Mid-roll CTA converts significantly better than outro-only. Sponsor read is host-voice native, not pre-scripted ad copy.

How it works

How does Podcast Episode Script work?

  1. Tell Claude what you need — the skill asks 2-3 narrowing questions specific to the task.
  2. The skill runs live research and structures the output before writing a single word.
  3. An anti-slop quality gate checks the draft, then delivers a ready-to-use result for $9.

Not what this is for
✕Fully scripted word-for-word reads only — best results come from outlined segments used as a guide, not a teleprompter.
✕Automated episode production — this writes the script; recording, editing, and distribution are yours.
✕Serialised narrative/documentary formats — those require multi-episode arc planning beyond a single script.

"I used to spend three hours prepping each episode. Now it's under 30 minutes and my listener retention went up by 40% the first week I used the structured hook."

Quick answers

Do I need a paid Claude account for Podcast Episode Script?

No. The free Claude plan is enough to get started and see the skill working. A Pro plan unlocks longer outputs.

How do I install the Podcast Episode Script skill?

Download the .skill file, open Claude, go to Customize → Skills → Upload a skill, and drop the file in. It appears in your slash-command list immediately.

Can I edit or customise the output after I receive it?

Yes. The output is plain text you own and can edit freely. Most users tweak specific details or the call-to-action to fit their exact use case before sending or publishing.

How specific do my inputs need to be to get a good result?

The more specific your input, the more precise the output. The skill asks targeted questions to gather context — answering these in detail produces noticeably better results than generic one-line inputs.
