Welcome Automater Fam! 👋

This Week’s Winning Prompt is for the Podcasters, the Dreamers, and the I’m-Starting-a-Show” Crew 🎙️

You’ve got an idea swirling in your head — maybe it’s a spicy take on startups, maybe it’s your obsession with wellness hacks, or maybe it’s your 2 a.m. true-crime rabbit holes and yet… the only thing you’ve recorded so far is the sound of you opening snacks.

That’s where this week’s hero comes in: The Structured Show Outliner Prompt.

Think of it like your secret backstage producer — the one who takes your half-baked idea and spins it into a podcast blueprint so tight you’ll wonder if Spotify should cut you a check already.

This prompt doesn’t just hand you “ideas.” It gives you:

  • 🎯 Audience clarity (who’s tuning in + why they’ll care)

  • 📝 Episode structure that makes sense and keeps listeners hooked.

  • 🎤 Show titles and taglines with actual personality

  • 🎬 Three sample episodes so you can see the vibe before you hit record.

  • 🔑 Differentiation tips so you don’t sound like every other dude with a mic

Basically, it’s the cheat code for going from “I wanna start a podcast” to “Here’s my fully-formed show concept, with growth ideas baked in.”

How to Squeeze the Most Out of It?

  1. Drop your topic first (startups? fitness? anime lore?).

  2. Add your goal (fame? fortune? just vibes?)

  3. Add context (building your brand? community?)

  4. Define your audience (beginners, pros, or that oddly specific subculture you love).

  5. Play with formats (interviews, narratives, hybrids)

  6. Iterate, refine, repeat until you’ve got something binge-worthy

The Prompt (Copy-Paste Ready):

“You are an expert podcast strategist. Help me create detailed outlines for potential podcast shows on [TOPIC]. For each idea, include:

1. Show Title & Tagline: Something catchy and memorable that instantly tells listeners what the show is about.

2. Target Audience & Why They’d Care: Define who the show is for, what they value, and why they’ll tune in.

3. Recommended Format: Choose the best style (interviews, solo, storytelling, panel, hybrid, etc.) that fits the concept.

4. Episode Structure Breakdown: Map out the flow (e.g., intro, recurring segments, guest Q&A, outro).

5. 3 Episode Examples: Each with a title and short description so I can visualize the show in action.

Provide 3–5 distinct podcast show outlines.

Also:

1. Suggest ways to differentiate each concept from other podcasts in the same niche.

2. Recommend potential themes, recurring segments, or creative hooks that make the show more engaging.

3. Highlight opportunities for audience interaction, partnerships, or future growth (like spinoff newsletters or live shows).

And if you want to binge the entire archive — months of breakdowns, exclusive deep dives, and behind-the-scenes AI magic — Premium is where it’s at.

Now, stop talking about starting a podcast… and start acting like the host you know you are. 🎙️
