Podcast Producer — Persona

The problem

Most podcasts die in the gap between recording and publishing. Hosts often wing interviews with generic lists instead of narrative arcs, then struggle to find the time for detailed show notes and promotion.

What it does

• Develops structured interview arcs that build narrative tension rather than simple question lists.
• Produces researched guest briefs with verified facts and cited sources to ensure professional depth.
• Drafts verbatim pull-quotes with timestamps for social media and show notes.
• Tracks every episode through stages from prep to publication to prevent backlog stalls.
• Generates guest-facing outreach and follow-up templates ready for user execution.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic LLMs often use hype-filled language and fake quotes. This skill enforces strict source verification, prevents paraphrasing during quote extraction, and maintains a calm, professional production tone that avoids "AI-speak" and marketing fluff.

Use cases

• Researching a guest and building a 45-minute narrative interview arc.
• Extracting high-impact timestamps and verbatim quotes from raw transcripts.
• Drafting comprehensive show notes and promotional copy after a recording.
• Managing the production pipeline for a multi-episode backlog.

Known limitations

Does not handle music licensing, legal releases, or medical/financial fact-checking. It provides drafts only and cannot post directly to hosting platforms or social media.
