Writes episode-specific intro and outro scripts matched to a podcast's tone, format, and brand — including the episode hook, show context, and closing with CTA — ready to record.
Required: Show name; episode topic or title; host name(s); tone of the show (casual, serious, irreverent, warm, authoritative) Optional: Guest name and one-line context; the most compelling or surprising moment from the episode (a quote, a finding, a scene); target intro length (30 seconds, 45 seconds, 60 seconds at typical speaking pace); whether a music bed plays under the intro; whether the outro should include specific CTAs (subscribe, leave a review, follow on social, Patreon); any standard language that appears in every episode's intro or outro
Two clearly labeled script blocks: INTRO and OUTRO. Each is marked with approximate spoken duration at 150 words per minute. Delivery notes in parentheses where tone or pacing matters. Written to be read directly into a microphone. Total: 200–350 words for both scripts combined. Output ends with a "Next Step" note: read both intro variants aloud before recording, confirm any quoted material is approved, and run show-notes-generator to create the matching episode publish assets.
Show name: The Work It podcast Episode topic: Why your company's performance review system is making everyone worse at their jobs Guest: An organizational psychologist who studies workplace feedback systems Host: Jamie Tone: Smart, slightly sardonic, accessible Most compelling moment: Guest said "Performance reviews measure how good you are at being reviewed, not how good you are at your job" Target intro length: 45 seconds CTAs: Subscribe + leave a review
INTRO (~45 seconds spoken at 150wpm)
(Open on quote — optional music bed fades under)
"Performance reviews measure how good you are at being reviewed — not how good you are at your job."
That's not a disgruntled employee talking. That's an organizational psychologist who has spent fifteen years studying what actually happens to people and organizations when they go through the annual review cycle.
(Warm, direct)
I'm Jamie, and this is The Work It podcast — where we dig into the systems that shape how we work, and why so many of them were designed without us in mind. Today: the performance review. Why it exists, who it actually serves, and what the research says about whether it does any of what it's supposed to do. Let's get into it.
(~85 words / ~45 seconds at 150wpm)
OUTRO (~30 seconds spoken at 150wpm)
(Slightly warmer pace than the intro)
If this conversation made you think about your own review cycle differently — or if it confirmed something you already suspected — I hope it was useful. The guest's research is in the show notes, along with a couple of the papers we referenced.
(Direct)
If you got something from this episode, the best thing you can do is subscribe — it helps more people find the show. And if you have a minute to leave a review, that means a lot. We'll be back next week.

Alternate INTRO — host-led setup (~45 seconds)
(Host narration, no opening quote)
Every year, millions of workers sit in a meeting where their performance for the last twelve months is evaluated by one person, using a number or a letter grade, in a process that typically takes about 45 minutes. And then everyone goes back to work.
I'm Jamie, this is The Work It podcast, and today we're asking whether performance reviews actually work — and what happens when an organizational psychologist looks at the data. The answer is uncomfortable if you're the one who runs them. Let's go.
