The podcast script is where all the raw elements of the podcast are refined. It’s where ideas are tried outside of the booth, so that you can save time inside the booth. And if the script is good, your podcast episode could be great. But what are the elements of a great script and how can you make the process work for you? Join journalist Leah Sottile for a free, virtual VPM + ICA Community Media Center session on the best practices for scripting your podcast.
