The Power of First Impressions

Your podcast intro sets expectations. A strong opening communicates your show’s style, tone, and purpose. Use concise language and choose a music cue that reflects your brand identity.

Avoid overly long intros. Listeners decide within seconds whether they’ll stay. Test different versions and gather feedback to refine it.


A memorable intro doesn’t just introduce your podcast — it welcomes listeners into your world.

What to Include:

  • A brief statement about your show.
  • Your host name for personal connection.
  • A consistent music cue or sound effect.

Editing Your Intro:

  1. Keep your script short and easy to follow.
  2. Balance audio levels between voice and music.
  3. Use compression to make the voice clear and warm.
