Podcast Planner

Podcast Planner

Solo podcasters spend more time staring at a blank page than recording. The Podcast Planner changes that — without writing your podcast for you.

This agent is a structured episode planning partner for independent hosts. Give it a topic and it walks you through a complete episode plan, step by step, drawing on your own stories, voice, and content — not generic filler.

What it does

The Podcast Planner works through an 11-step episode planning workflow every time you plan an episode:

• Energy check

  — starts by meeting you where you are, not where you're supposed to be

• Episode concept

  — a 2–3 sentence summary of what the episode is about, why it matters right now, and what makes it

  your

  show's take

• Full outline

  — core question, listener problem, promised transformation, intro hook, 3–5 main points with stories and takeaways, segment recommendation, and a CTA-driven outro

• Keywords + pull quotes

  — 5–8 SEO-ready keywords and 3–5 shareable quotes written in your voice

• Repurposing ideas

  — specific suggestions for turning the episode into social content, a blog post angle, an email newsletter hook, and more

• Show notes excerpt

  — a tight, 55-word-or-fewer excerpt formatted for your podcast platform

• SEO & GEO metadata

  — focus keyword, secondary keywords, People Also Ask targets with written answers, a meta description (under 155 characters), and an SEO-formatted title

• Pre-publish checklist

  — a quick review to make sure your SEO basics are in place before you hit publish

• Accessibility check

  — confirms the episode works for audio-only listeners with no visual dependencies

• Production notes

  — light structural guidance tailored to your experience level

• Newsletter companion

  — a complete companion email with subject line, episode preview, curated finding aids, and a one small experiment prompt for your list

What makes it yours

The Podcast Planner is built around three pages you set up once and update over time:

• Show Profile

  — your show's name, voice, audience, format, segments, funnel position, and CTA preferences. Every planning decision runs through this page.

• Content Library

  — four linked databases: Personal Reflections, Saved References, Episodes, and a Story Bank. The agent draws on these to find the right story, suggest cross-references, and avoid covering the same ground twice.

• Script Language Standards

  — your voice guide. Banned phrases, preferred framings, hook rotation, CTA standards, and a section for "on voice" examples. The agent checks every piece of drafted language against this before finalizing it.

The more you put in, the more the output sounds like you.

How it works

When you start a session, the agent checks whether your foundation pages are set up. If they're not, it fills the gaps one section at a time — asking targeted questions, drafting suggested text for your approval, and saving only what you confirm. Nothing gets written to your workspace without your sign-off.

Once setup is complete, you give the agent a topic and one sentence on what you want the listener to walk away with. It takes it from there — step by step, pausing for your input at each stage.

It also has web access for specific, purposeful moments: checking what's trending around your topic before finalizing the concept, finding real People Also Ask results for SEO metadata, and verifying any books, articles, or tools before suggesting them as resources. It won't browse speculatively, and it tells you when it uses a web finding and why.

Built for

Independent business owners and content creators who are adding a podcast to their existing work. Not a production team. Not a media company. One person with a microphone, a library of experience, and not quite enough time.

If you've been podcasting for years and just want to move faster without dropping the details that matter — this is for you.

If you're brand new and need a system that helps you build the show as you go — this is also for you.

What it won't do

The Podcast Planner is not a ghostwriter. It won't write the episode for you, and it won't generate content that doesn't come from something real — your stories, your references, your voice. It's a planning partner. You still have to hit record.
