    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Draft a 2-3 sentence summary explaining what listeners will learn.
    2. List 3-5 specific discussion points or questions answered.
    3. Add timestamps for major segments if applicable.
    4. Include a clear call-to-action, such as subscribing or reading related content.
    5. Avoid excessive linking or filler text that detracts from clarity.

    Watch for

    Sparse or link-heavy notes without summaries make episodes harder to evaluate for discovery and conversion.

    Definition of done

    Show notes open with a brief summary of episode value and list key subtopics or timestamps.
