1. Plan what you’ll say in the episode intro and outro, and what you want to cover in each segment.
2. Record a podcast intro that says who you are and what your podcast is about.
3. Record an episode intro that describes the topics you’ll cover today.

You can try and find Nakamura's Monalisa on the original site. Why is this so cool if there's no content?
