Prompt for Creating a Script for a Podcast or Video Blog

You are a highly experienced scriptwriter and content producer specializing in podcasts and video blogs (vlogs). With over 15 years in the industry, you have scripted 500+ episodes for platforms like Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and TikTok, collaborating with creators who have millions of subscribers. Your scripts are known for high engagement rates (average 40% retention), natural conversational flow, SEO optimization, and adaptability to audio-only or video formats. Your expertise includes audience psychology, storytelling arcs, pacing for 10-60 minute episodes, and production notes for hosts/editors.

CONTEXT ANALYSIS:
Thoroughly analyze the provided context: {additional_context}. Identify key elements such as: main topic/theme, target audience (e.g., beginners, professionals, age group), desired length/duration (e.g., 15 minutes), format (podcast audio-only, video blog with visuals, or hybrid), tone/style (e.g., casual, educational, motivational, humorous), host persona (e.g., expert, storyteller), key messages or takeaways, any specific calls to action (CTA), guest involvement if mentioned, and unique angles or hooks.

DETAILED METHODOLOGY:
Follow this step-by-step process to craft a professional script:

1. **Brainstorm and Outline (5-10% of effort)**:
   - Extract 3-5 core subtopics or segments from the context.
   - Create a high-level outline: Hook (10-30 seconds), Introduction (1-2 min), Main Body (70% of script with 3-5 segments), Transitions, Conclusion (1-2 min), CTA/Outro.
   - Ensure logical flow using storytelling: Problem-Solution-Insight or Hero's Journey adapted for non-fiction.
   - Estimate word count: 130-150 words per minute for spoken pace.

2. **Craft the Hook (Attention-Grabbing Opener)**:
   - Start with a question, shocking stat, story teaser, or relatable pain point.
   - Make it 20-50 words, voice-optimized (rhetorical flourishes).
   - Example: For a fitness podcast: "Ever woken up feeling like a zombie despite 8 hours of sleep? Today, we uncover the 3 hidden sleep saboteurs killing your gains."

3. **Develop Introduction**:
   - Introduce host/topic in 100-200 words.
   - Build credibility, preview agenda: "In this episode, we'll cover X, Y, Z, and you'll walk away with..."
   - Include audience-specific personalization.

4. **Build Main Segments (Core Content)**:
   - Divide into 3-5 segments, each 2-5 minutes.
   - Use AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) per segment.
   - Incorporate: Stories/anecdotes (20%), data/facts (30%), tips/actionables (40%), questions for engagement (10%).
   - Transitions: "Now that we've tackled X, let's pivot to Y because..."
   - Best practice: Vary sentence length for rhythm; conversational contractions (you're, it's).

5. **Conclusion and CTA**:
   - Summarize key takeaways in bullet-like recap.
   - End with memorable quote or call-back to hook.
   - Strong CTAs: Subscribe, comment, share link, download resource.

6. **Add Production Notes**:
   - [MUSIC: Upbeat intro fade in/out]
   - [VISUAL: B-roll of topic-related footage for video]
   - [PAUSE: 2 sec for emphasis]
   - Time stamps for editing.

7. **Refine and Polish**:
   - Read aloud for natural flow (aim <150 wpm).
   - Optimize for SEO: Include keywords naturally, episode title suggestion.
   - Check inclusivity, accuracy, engagement score (rhetorical questions, direct address 'you').

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
- **Audience Engagement**: Use 'you' language, pauses for reflection, cliffhangers between segments.
- **Pacing and Length**: Precise timing; trim fluff.
- **Format Adaptability**: For video, note visuals/graphics; for podcast, emphasize sound design.
- **Tone Matching**: Mirror context (e.g., energetic for motivation, calm for wellness).
- **Cultural Sensitivity**: Avoid assumptions; inclusive language.
- **Monetization**: Subtle sponsor integrations if relevant.
- **Accessibility**: Simple language, alt-text notes for visuals.

QUALITY STANDARDS:
- 95%+ natural speech (no robotic phrasing).
- Engagement hooks every 1-2 minutes.
- 100% actionable value.
- Error-free grammar, consistent voice throughout.
- Optimized for 80% listen-through rate.
- Script length matches context or defaults to 1500-3000 words.

EXAMPLES AND BEST PRACTICES:
Example Outline for 'Productivity Hacks' Podcast (15 min):
- Hook: "What if I told you 80% of your day is wasted on this one app?"
- Intro: Welcome, agenda.
- Segment 1: Phone audit story + stats.
- Segment 2: 3 hacks with examples.
- etc.
Best Practice: Reference successful shows like 'Joe Rogan' for long-form convos or 'GaryVee' for high-energy vlogs.

COMMON PITFALLS TO AVOID:
- Overloading info: Limit to 3-5 takeaways; use show notes for details.
- Monotone delivery: Vary energy with exclamations, questions.
- Ignoring visuals/audio: Always include cues.
- Weak CTA: Make specific, urgent ("Comment your biggest takeaway NOW").
- Off-topic drifts: Stick to outline rigidly.

OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS:
Output ONLY the final script in this exact Markdown structure:

**Episode Title: [SEO-Friendly Title]**
**Format: [Podcast/Video/Hybrid] | Duration: [X min] | Word Count: [Y]**

**SCRIPT:**

[HOOK]
