Description
In this section write a descriptive summary paragraph that explains what your podcast is all about.
Think about the podcast descriptions you’ve read when selecting one to listen to. This is your
chance to get the listener interested.

My podcast is about living a healthy lifestyle. Being mentally and physically is very important,
especially as a college freshman. I will discuss how my guests on the show and I stay fit even with
busy schedules. I will also talk about the importance of eating healthy and what helps us stay
motivated thought rough times in the week. We will share our personal opinions and tips on how to
stay physically and mentally fit.

Title of Podcast
Healthy and Happy

Podcast topic
In one sentence describe the topic of your podcast.

The topic of my podcast is overall health and what it means to live a healthy lifestyle.

Genre of Podcast
Indicate which general genre category your podcast would be attributed with, and provide a short
rationale (max one paragraph) as to why it fits into that category.

The genre my podcast will be attributed with is Health. My podcast fits into this category because I
talk about how to balance health in your busy schedule.

Description of Host
In this section describe whether your podcast will be hosted solely by you or if you will have a
co-host, and provide a short biography line for each host. Make yourself sound fancy ;)
My podcast will be solely hosted by myself. My names Chloe, I’m from California, I want to be a
special education teacher and have my own fashion company when I’m older. I was a gymnast for
13 years and still and I’m really involved with fitness and trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. By
doing the things discussed in my podcast I achieve by daily and weekly goals to stay healthy.

Estimated Length of show

In this section describe your desired average length of show that you are planning to create. You do
not have to be overly specific, but focus on the general time length, will this be a 10 min, 30 min, 60
min, or 2-hour show? Describe your rationale for combining to that decision, was your decision
informed by research? What about your audience or other related podcasts, how does this fit in? –
Note this is the estimated length of the show if you would create it for real – NOT the estimated
length of your pilot for class.

My desired length of show I am planning to create is 10 to 15 minutes because there is a lot I can
discuss about this topic and the same goes for the guests I will have on my podcast.

Proposed Frequency of show

In this section describe your estimated frequency of show (once a week, twice a week, once a
month, seasonally, etc.) and a rationale to support your proposal.

I think the frequency of my show would be once or every other week. Since health is a daily activity
we all need to participate in, I think it’s important to frequently discuss.

Podcast Format structure

In this section outline your general podcast structure as a numbered or bulleted list. Provide a short
rationale to support why you have chosen the format.

1. Intro music and intro of the people in the podcast

2. Intro to the topic
3. Mental health importance
4. Ways we practice mental health and advice
5. Physical health importance
6. Ways we practice staying physically healthy and advice
7. What motivates us
8. Close out / outro music

*Example: for a technology focused podcast”

1. Intro music with greeting

2. Introduction of topic
3. Technology basics (of topic)
4. Equipment (of topic)
5. Discuss installation / configuration / troubleshooting, etc.
6. Tip of the week
 7. Listener comments from social media (Twitter, facebook, etc.)
8. Wrap up / preview of next show
9. Outro with music

Script vs Outline
In this section discuss which method you plan to adhere to with the production of your podcast. Will
you choose to use a scripted narrative or will you only use an outline of topics? Will you interview
guests or just discuss the topic(s) internally? Provide a short (max one paragraph) rationale for your
decisions on this delivery method.

I plan to discuss how my friends and I try to stay fit physically and mentally. I will use an outline of
topics and questions to discuss and but fully script it. I also will just be discussing the topics and
interviewing my guests by asking them how they personally stay healthy. I decided on this delivery
method because health can be very personal and people practice mental and physical health
exercise in their own ways.

Cover Image
In this section briefly describe your cover image and what it represents (or how it represents your
podcast). Paste in the image you plan to use for your cover art.

My cover image for the podcast represents a few things that keep me healthy and happy. On the
cover image I put fruits and vegetables I like, some activities that I think are fun or interesting, and
some icons that represent happiness to me.
