Write show notes that help a listener choose
Good show notes explain what the conversation offers without inventing a better conversation.
Lead with the episode’s value
Name the actual topic and who might find it useful. Keep the opening short enough to scan in a podcast app.
Use evidence from the transcript
Check every takeaway against what was said. Do not turn a paraphrase into a quotation or add a link that was not provided.
Finish the release checklist
Confirm guest names, links, chapter timestamps, and any sponsor wording yourself. Add the final listening link after publishing.
