Podcast Show Notes Writer

SEO-ready podcast show notes with chapters, takeaways, and resource links ready to publish.

Best For

  • Independent podcast hosts who need SEO-optimized show notes published within an hour of recording.
  • Podcast producers managing multiple shows who need a consistent show notes template across episodes.
  • B2B podcast teams repurposing guest interviews into searchable, linkable episode pages.

Prompt Template

Write complete show notes for a podcast episode titled "[EPISODE_TITLE]" (Episode [EPISODE_NUMBER]) of the "[PODCAST_NAME]" podcast. The guest is [GUEST_NAME], [GUEST_TITLE] at [GUEST_COMPANY]. The episode covers: [BRIEF_EPISODE_SUMMARY]. Structure the show notes as follows: (1) a 2–3 sentence episode summary optimized for search and written in second person ("You'll learn…"), (2) 5–7 bullet-point key takeaways, (3) a timestamped chapter list using the following times and topics: [TIMESTAMPS_AND_TOPICS], (4) links and resources mentioned: [RESOURCES_LIST], (5) a one-sentence guest bio with a link to [GUEST_WEBSITE_OR_LINKEDIN]. Write in a warm, direct tone that matches the show's voice: [SHOW_VOICE, e.g., analytical and data-driven]. Keep the summary under 160 characters for SEO meta use.

Pro Tip

Paste the actual episode transcript or your raw timestamp notes in rather than a vague summary, since specific quotes and moments produce far more accurate chapter titles than a one-line description.
