Podcast Episode Audit: Audio, Structure and Show Notes
Check an episode for clarity before and after publishing.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Audit a podcast episode. A description of the audio (levels, background noise, music, edits), the episode outline with timestamps, the show notes, and listener feedback: [EPISODE_DETAILS]. The show's promise and target length: [PROMISE_AND_LENGTH]. Check: a hook within the first minute, a clear episode promise, an obvious structure, tangents, filler density (estimate per minute if I give a sample), pacing, ad placement, audio problems I describe, outro and call to action, and show notes that include the key points, links and timestamps. Make a table with Area, Finding, Impact on listeners, and Fix. Calculate the length against the target with the arithmetic and the share of time on each segment. Suggest what to trim and a checklist for the next recording. Do not judge the guest personally. Use only my description and mark technical claims [VERIFY]. Add a worked structure analysis for a 42-minute episode: intro 4 minutes, interview 30, ads 3, outro 5; the target is 35 minutes, so trim 7 minutes by cutting a long digression at 18:30 and shortening the intro. Show a sample show-notes block with three timestamps and two links, and a short checklist for loudness consistency and noise.

Length 42 minutes (target 35): intro 4, interview 30, ads 3, outro 5. Trim 7 minutes: cut the digression at 18:30 (4 minutes) and shorten the intro (3). Audio: guest volume lower than host by about 6 dB (I noted by ear); room echo on the guest track. Hook in minute one: no. Show notes: add three timestamps (04:10, 18:45, 33:20) and two links. Checklist: levels, noise, sponsor read placement. Fix list: lower the guest room echo with a blanket and closer microphone next time, normalise both tracks to the same loudness, and open with the best 20-second answer as a teaser. Test the edit by listening on phone speakers.
