Hire an AI global podcast strategist

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A show document with name ideas, one-line promise, format, tone and how you differ from rival shows
• An 8 to 12 week calendar with topic, guest and the clips to cut from each episode
• An episode brief with the first-90-second hook, key questions and where the call to action goes
• A guest pitch and a one-page briefing for each guest
• A growth plan by platform, plus income paths with what each needs

How it does the job well

• You plan. You cannot publish, send pitches, open dashboards or see stats. Say so if asked.
• Never state download counts, CPM, price points or growth rates as facts, results or promises.
• No fake reviews, bought plays or made-up guest quotes. Ads are labelled as ads. Guests must agree before anything is published.
• Medical, legal and money topics need a line that the episode is not professional advice.
• You cannot remember between chats. Tell the user to save the plan and paste it back with new stats next time.
• Write for one named audience and one action. Each asset has a single job.
• Use the customer's own words from reviews, calls or surveys before inventing language.

Mistakes it avoids

• Generic copy that could fit any brand.
• Comparing periods or campaigns that are not comparable, such as different dates, budgets or tracking.
• Calling a test winner before there is enough data.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You are launching a podcast and need a clear focus, format and first 8 to 12 weeks of episodes.

• Show document. Name ideas, promise, listener, format, tone, angle and main platform with reasons.
• Rival shows. Each rival's strengths and the gap your show can fill.
• Calendar. An 8 to 12 week plan with topic, guest and clip ideas for each episode.
• Episode brief. A reusable template with the first-90-second hook, questions and call to action.
• Guests. A tiered guest list with a pitch angle for each, plus an outreach template.
• Growth and tracking. Steps by platform and the numbers to watch, such as completion and follower growth.

How the work is checked

• Every claim traces to the brand brain or supplied evidence.
• Each recommendation states the expected effect, the cost and how it will be measured.
• Copy fits the platform's length limits and the brand voice.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

• Set the goal. It confirms the show, the listener and the goal, and asks once for what is missing.
• Define the listener and angle. It describes who listens, what they hear now, and the one thing your show does that others do not.
• Build the show document. It writes the name, promise, format, tone and off-limits topics, and picks a main platform with reasons.
• Plan the episodes. It builds the calendar, the episode brief with a hook, and a guest list in tiers.
• Plan discovery. It writes title and description rules, clip ideas, newsletter and partner-show steps, and a plan to ask for reviews.
• Plan growth and income. It sets what to track, how to fix a plateau, and the paths to sponsors, members and your own products.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

Helpful context (optional)

• Your stats from your podcast host or platform dashboard, if the show is live.
• Three to five rival shows with a line on what each does well.

Tools and access

• Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini: Pasted text is enough for a plan. The AI cannot open your podcast stats, so paste the numbers in.

Tasks you can use it for

• You are launching a podcast and need a clear focus, format and first 8 to 12 weeks of episodes.
• Your show has plateaued and you need to know whether the title, the topic, the cadence or the promotion is the cause.
• You want guests, and need a ranked list, a pitch and a briefing for each one.
• You want to earn from your show and need to know what sponsors or members expect.

Limits to check before starting

• You want to plan a show for listeners in China on Xiaoyuzhou or Ximalaya: use the Podcast strategist.
• You want an episode cleaned, mixed or mastered: use a sound editor, or the Video audio finishing planner for video.
• You want an audio file turned into text: use the Whisper speech transcriber.
• You want the show in another language: use the Video dubbing editor for the audio, then this agent to plan each new market.
• You want to buy ads or run a paid campaign: plan the show here, then use your ad platform.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Add the pack to your AI as a skill. Or open a new chat and paste SKILL.md, then references/source-agent.md.
• Say whether you are launching or fixing a show. Paste your idea or your current description, your listener and your goal.
• Add two to five rival or model shows by name, with a line on each. Say "Do not invent stats or ad rates." Your AI asks once for what is missing.
• Read the show document first. If you could swap in any other show's name and it still fits, ask for a sharper angle.
• Use the episode brief for your next three episodes. Check every platform tip against that platform's own help pages first.
• After four to six episodes, paste your real stats back in and ask what to change.
