Questions? We have answers
How do you write a good podcast description?

You can write a good podcast description by starting with what your target audience wants from a podcast. Start with a hook—a short answer to the question, “Why should I listen?” Then, expand your description with information about the episodes and time stamped points of interest. Finally, add relevant resources and calls to action for potential listeners.

Is there a podcast episode description template I can use?

Here’s a simple template to create descriptions for your podcast episodes:

  • Hook
  • Guest introduction
  • Key points and episode timestamps
  • Transcript link
  • Guest or podcast resources

Check out our blog for a full podcast description template.

Will Descript's AI write my podcast bio?

Yes, Descript’s AI assistant can write your podcast bio and even episode scripts. For the bio, use our Ask AI Anything feature with the prompt: “Write a bio for my podcast”. Once it responds, give it more information about your podcast so it can create a useful bio.

What makes Descript's podcast description generator better?

Descript’s podcast description generator is better because it uses AI to get details straight from your podcast transcript and audio. Not only does it automatically create a compelling podcast description, but it also uses the transcript to create timestamps and ensure all key points are included.

What if I don't like the podcast episode description Descript generates?

If you don’t like the podcast episode description, that’s no problem. Simply tell the AI what adjustments you want it to make, and it will create an updated description based on your feedback. You can also have it create a completely new description by giving it more specific custom instructions based on your target audience.
