Perfect Intros and Outros: A key to the success of a podcast

Podcast intros and outros are the spoken words to raise the quality of the structure of your show. It helps in building the value and the standard of your show.

However, the essential part of the show is the main content, the topic the show is discussing but how do you know if people will find interest in your show when the podcast starts with nothing but the main content which doesn’t leave a clue about where the podcast leading.

The intro is all about telling your listeners what the show is all about to hook them to listen to it and make them believe that it will lead them somewhere.  And the outro is all about telling your listeners, what you are coming up with next, to make them follow your channel. Make sure to select a professional Hindi voice actor for you intro/outro in case you are about to launch a podcast in Hindi.

The essences of a good intro

The intro, where you talk about the show and give a brief of what your listeners are going to listen to, makes the first impression. Your subscribers are the ones who trust the quality of your channel but still without a good intro there are chances that they can skip listening to it. Moreover, the new listeners need the first impression, a good intro is mandatory if you want them to listen to it.

For the good, add an intro. It’s not specified to anyone that what an intro should consist of. Add words according to your will, show your creativity, and make it what other podcasts don’t have.

However, there are some things that should be added in an intro as a suggestion, the somethings that pull up an impact.

  • Put a bit of pressure on the name of the podcast to let your listeners remind what they are listening to.
  • Speak up your name, the name of the narrator.
  • Give a brief of the essence of the podcast; what the podcast has in its main content, and where it leads you to, and tell them how the podcast is something they were looking for.
  • The theme of the podcast.
  • Add some music to make it soft and attractive to your listeners.

With all these pinches and with your added creativity, you can form a very impressive intro to launch a pre-impact on your podcast.

The end of a podcast: The outro

The outro comes at the end of a podcast and is mandatory to leave an impact. You have done great with the intro and main content and now you need to think about how I am going to end the podcast. The outro is something that works in mounting the list of subscribers.

With an outro, you can thank your listeners for listening, can tell them about your upcoming events, and lead them to the theme of your podcast again. You can ask for a rating or review or can ask them to subscribe to your channel as well. You should know that your outro is for those who make it to the last and will enjoy the show.

Moreover, there are a few things you can add to except your own will to make an impactful outro.

  • First of all, thank the audience for listening. It’s a sweet gesture that everyone likes. However, it isn’t something that is noticeable but it makes an unrecognized impact.
  • Thereafter, you can tell them about your websites, links, or accounts, or relatable things as an advertisement.
  • Tell them about your future programs; give them a hint to pre-attract the audience.
  • Ask for something in return like – subscribe to our channel, share the podcast, rate or review the podcast, or you can sell tickets to your programs, etc.

There are some podcasts that use pre-recorded intros and outros which can save your time or can be effective for a set amount of time but at a certain point it will lead to a platitude. Try avoiding it. Also, try keeping the length of intros and outros less than or  up to a minute.
