Podcast: what the show gives you

Sent to a long-time podcast listener. Asks what the show does for them.

Long-time listeners build a real relationship with a show, fitting it into commutes, workouts, and quiet evenings. This template asks what they are after when they press play and which episode they would hand a friend, the words that turn a curious browser into a subscriber. Copy it free and make it yours.

What does the show give you?

Email body

Hi {{name}},

You have been listening to {{product}} for a good while, through plenty of episodes, and a listener who keeps the show in their ears that long is the reason I keep hitting record.

Would you tell me what the show gives you, in your own words? When you press play, what you are usually after, and the episode you would hand a friend. Talk the way you would to that friend, no script needed, and short is completely fine.

It is a small operation behind the mic, and a would-be listener trusts a real one like you far more than my own trailer. Thank you for riding along this long.
