Segments
Learn how segments work and how to use them to structure your episode.
A segment is a section of your podcast that serves a specific purpose. Each segment moves the episode forward.
There’s usually an intro to welcome listeners and set expectations, and an outro to wrap things up. In between, the episode is divided into segments.
Some podcasts flow smoothly without obvious transitions, but even those episodes are structured underneath. The segments may be subtle, but they’re still there.
Segments help you:
Organize your ideas
Guide your listener
Control pacing
Make complex topics easier to follow
The graphic organizers included will help guide you, showing you where one segment ends and another begins.
