What goes in an intro
A good intro tells a new listener three things fast: the name of the show, what it’s about, and who’s talking. The two intros on this page run about 20 seconds each.
Tell me how to say the host’s name, send the music if you have it, and let me know the feel: big and fun, warm and calm, or somewhere in between. I’ll record the intro and the outro in one session so they match.
