#565 | How I Make Podcast Episodes

English Learning for Curious Minds

Ever wondered how the (podcast) sausage is made?

In this slightly "meta" episode, I reveal the step-by-step process to make an episode of English Learning for Curious Minds.

• Choosing podcast topics: interest, timelessness, and neutrality
• Avoiding controversial topics and current affairs
• Researching topics through books, articles, and data
• Writing full scripts for natural conversation flow
• Using a variety of vocabulary for diverse learners
• Rewriting scripts after initial recordings
• Aiming for 20-minute episodes, 2,500-3,000-word scripts
• Incorporating AI tools for brainstorming and editing
• Results from our 2025 listener survey
• Thank you!
