How do you start your Podcast?

by Paul Colligan on April 2, 2007

It’s never easy to get those first words right.

Those final words are even harder.

How do you start your Podcast? How do you bring them in in your first few sentences?

I’m putting together a doc of opening (and closing) lines from Podcasts. Want to be in it? Add your opening and or closing lines to this thread and I’ll put ‘em in there.

My goal is to help teach/inspire other Podcasters, while doing a little cross promotion at the same time.

I’d love to have you in there. Posting below give me permission to market your Podcast and Podcasting expertise accordingly.

    That is about how I usually start and end my show, but I try to mix it up a little to keep variety in it. You would really have to listen to my podcast in order to get a good feel of how it goes though, if you are curious.
  • Nice to see you still powering on with this podcasting stuff Paul. You really weren't joking when you got into all this, like, eons ago, were you? Thanks for your inspiration then - it's taken me, well, eons, but I'm doing it :)

    Together: Seacrest Out!

    It's a pop culture show and we've been making fun of Ryan Seacrest since 2004.

    Then we play a clip of our announcer giving all the contact info etc...
  • Ok.. After we do our show we go back and pick some highlights or tease-able moments. Then record that as an intro for the show. Anna's portion also works as a stand-alone promo for the show if we want to use the audio some place else.
