Send a question for 'Ask Megan'Hey, Podcasters!Think about the last time you checked out a new podcast.You hit play…and within a minute or two, you decided whether to keep listening or move on.That’s not unusual. In fact, a huge chunk of listener drop-off happens in the first few minutes of an episode! Your intro is your podcast's first impression!What Your Intro Needs to DoA good intro is about giving listeners a reason to stay.At its core, your intro should:Introduce who you are and what your show is about Preview what this episode will cover Clearly state what the listener will get out of itYou can add music or a short CTA, but those are optional.Keep It Simple (and Short)Most great intros are just 15–30 seconds.One small shift makes a big difference: don’t just say what the episode is about, say what the listener will walk away with.If you want examples, templates, and a full breakdown, read the guide:Most Effective Podcast IntrosAnd if you want more on creating a great podcast intro, check out this episode of ​Podcasting Q&A​!Have a question for Megan?
