AI Podcast Planning & Production Assistant

Podcast hosts are great at talking and, weirdly often, terrible at the 90% of the job that isn't talking. Guest research, outlines, cutting the "ums." You take that whole layer off their plate so all they do is show up and record.

Tools: Riverside or Descript with AI cleanup

Who It's For: Podcast hosts who hate pre-production

Charge: $50–$150 per episode

The Prompt:

Here's a guest's bio and their most recent 3 public interviews:
[paste]. Write 12 original interview questions that haven't already
been asked, grouped into an opening/rapport section, a core-topic
section, and a closing section.

Monetization Method: Per-episode retainer

Effort Level: Medium

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate

Pro Tip: Deliver a one-page episode brief, not a five-page research doc. Hosts read the one-pager on the drive to record; they never open the five-pager.

Quick Launch Steps:

1. Offer to prep one full episode for free for a podcaster you actually like
2. Deliver a guest one-pager, 10-12 questions, and an outline
3. Let them feel how much time it saved them
4. Pitch an ongoing per-episode rate
5. Layer in post-production cleanup once pre-production is locked in

Target Market Hook Ideas:

• “Show Up, Talk, We'll Handle the Rest”
• “Better Guest Questions, Zero Research Time”
• “Your Podcast's Missing Production Team”
