## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Write a 30-second spoken intro for my podcast guest. My show is [SHOW NAME] for [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT, e.g. leaders of small nonprofits]. Here's the guest's bio: [PASTE GUEST BIO]. Today we're talking about [EPISODE TOPIC, e.g. finding new donors]. Write it for the ear: short sentences, one specific detail that makes listeners curious, why this guest matters to my audience and a natural handoff like 'Welcome to the show'. Skip long lists of titles and awards. After every name, company or unusual word, add a simple sound-it-out spelling in parentheses. Then list the three pronunciations I should confirm with the guest before we record.
```

## Step by step

1. Paste the guest's bio or LinkedIn summary into the prompt.
2. Confirm the pronunciations with the guest before you record.
3. Load the intro into your teleprompter app or read it from your phone.
