## Prompt

```text
Help me define my podcast before I record anything. This is step 1 of a 4-step podcast launch pack; later steps (season plan, show notes, promotion) can use what we decide here.

**Topic area:** [e.g. bootstrapped SaaS, nursing careers, home cooking on a budget]
**Why me:** [my experience, access, or angle]
**Who I want listening:** [a specific person - job, situation, what they're struggling with]
**Why I'm doing this:** [e.g. build authority, generate leads, community, fun]
**Time I can commit per week:** [HOURS]
**Shows I like and what I'd do differently:** [OPTIONAL]

Work through:
1. **The promise:** one sentence finishing "Listeners will be able to..." Test it: is it specific enough that the target listener would choose it over the 10 shows already in their app?
2. **Format options (3):** e.g. solo, interview, co-host, narrative, with episode length, cadence, and the production effort for each. Recommend one that fits my weekly hours.
3. **Recurring segments:** 2-3 repeatable elements that make episodes feel like the same show.
4. **Name options (8):** clear over clever and searchable. Remind me to check availability in podcast directories, domains, social handles, and trademarks before deciding.
5. **Show description** (under 4,000 characters, front-load the first 150) for directories.
6. **Trailer script** (60-90 seconds): who it's for, what they'll get, how often, call to subscribe.

Be honest if the concept is too broad or the time budget doesn't fit the format.
