Frequently Asked Questions

How detailed is the episode outline?

Very detailed. You get timed segments with talking points, transition scripts, guest questions (for interviews), engagement prompts, show notes templates, and production cues — enough to record with minimal additional prep.

Can I use this for a brand-new podcast with no episodes?

Absolutely. In fact, it's ideal for new shows. Use it to plan your first 5-10 episodes and establish a consistent structure that listeners can rely on.

Does it generate the actual script or just an outline?

It generates a structured outline with key talking points, not a word-for-word script. This is intentional — podcasts sound best when hosts speak naturally from bullet points rather than reading scripts.

How do I handle a 2-hour episode?

Select 60 minutes and note your actual target length in the topic field. The AI will scale the segment count and depth accordingly. For very long episodes, consider generating separate outlines for each major section.

Can I customize the segment structure?

Yes — mention any specific segments you want (e.g., 'always start with a news roundup' or 'include a listener Q&A section') in the topic or takeaways field.

What if I have multiple guests?

Select the 'Panel Discussion' format and mention all guests in your topic. The outline will include balanced questions and discussion prompts for each participant.
