Podcast Plan
My group BTFM created a podcast called the Dos and Don’ts
with BTFM. The type of format we used was free talk, and did not use a script
we spoke freely if we stayed on topic. Our logline is the “The dos and don’ts
of……”. Each week we try to answer the question, which can range from humorous scenarios
to serious real world struggles. At the beginning of each episode Steven
introduces the cast and then opens on our topic. We each take a turn to answer a
do and don’t and flow into a conversation. We believed that having the show
unscripted helped the podcast feel more natural and engaging for the audience
to hear.
When reviewing the competition sites, we learned what
we needed to do to draw an audience. We had to know our audience, and we
targeted college students and young adults. Choose a format, which was free
talk. We also established a schedule and tried to keep editing at a bare minimum.
The next step was to distribute, promote, and launch the podcast. Lastly, we
had to keep the audience engaged so they would tune back in for the next
episode. After reviewing we planned our podcast so we can get the best results.

Our series can compete in the marketplace because we
have relatable topics and keep our reactions natural. Nothing feels scripted
and want our audience to feel like they can engage with us. The better our
relationship with our audience is, the better the podcast will be. Audience
interest will increase if we keep giving honest answers, whether they are
relatable or controversial.
