From Hook to Heart: How to Craft Compelling Stories for Your Podcast w/J. Rosemarie Francis

Tools of the Podcast Trade w/J. Rosemarie Francis · 2025-04-10

What if the secret to growing your podcast wasn’t better tools or big guests but storytelling your audience can’t stop thinking about?

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to craft compelling podcast stories that not only engage but create loyal listeners who keep coming back for more.

02:08 Start With a Hook

Instead of saying, “Today we talk about health,” try something intriguing like, “Ever wondered how one small habit could transform your life?” Hooks create curiosity and increase retention from the start.

04:15 Be Authentically You

Share real-life experiences — triumphs, failures, and even procrastination moments — to build trust and relatability with your audience.

08:25 Always Include a Clear Call to Action
