- Use Evernote clip feature to add story info into the “notes” notebook to gather ideas for the show through the week
- I do not look at this notebook at all during the week – just add articles that I found interesting
- The day that I record the show (currently Thursdays) I look at the “notes” notebook first thing in the morning and start to narrow the list
- At least half of the items that are in the notebook are not used in the show
- From the “notes” I start a new file in the “show notes” notebook for the new show
- Start doing research on these items and start to expand the info for each bullet point
- Show Notes
- Extremely detailed show outline
- Limit outline to 4 levels of outline bullets
- Monitor news stories for the day that I am recording to see if there is anything important to add to the show
- Read the notes out loud (sometimes grab the mic and headphones to hear how it sounds)
- Take a break from the notes
- Re-read all items to make sure that everything flows correctly and that all items are aligned correctly
- Press record and record the episode
- Show notes within WordPress are simply copied from the Evernote file
