    How to create a must-listen segment

    Segments bring rhythm to your show. They are the recurring moments listeners look forward to.

    1. Solve a Need

    The best segments deliver value. If your audience wants tactics, rotate formats like "Tool of the Week." If they want entertainment, try "Rapid Fire" or "Hot Takes."

    2. Timing is Key

    Use short segments (Lightning Round, Voicemails) as palette cleansers between heavy topics. Use long segments (Deep Dive, Interview Spotlight) to anchor the episode.

    3. Make it Yours

    Names matter. Customize generic ideas with your brand voice. "Listener Mail" becomes "Mailbag Mayhem." "Tool of the Week" becomes "Climate Tech Pick." Tiny tweaks build a brand.
