So, let&#8217;s talk about the most common formats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Interview podcasts:<\/strong> These podcasts feature a single host who interviews individuals within a particular industry. Examples: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/podcasts\/381444908\/fresh-air\" target=\"_blank\">Fresh Air<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/trained\/id1414073313\" target=\"_blank\">Trained<\/a> by Nike.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scripted non-fiction:<\/strong> Typically, serial podcasts that have a single theme for a full season. Examples: <a href=\"https:\/\/serialpodcast.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Serial<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/podcasts\/slow-burn\/s5\/road-to-the-iraq-war\" target=\"_blank\">Slow Burn<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dancarlin.com\/hardcore-history-series\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hardcore History<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>News recap:<\/strong> A format that summarizes the news within a specific industry. Examples: <a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/dcf2b057-f3d9-419f-ac6b-ad64637ac840\/the-daily-podcast?ref=dmm_acq_mrn_d_ds_rh_z_-c_c_539036640611_g_127821134784\" target=\"_blank\">The Daily<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/overcast.fm\/itunes290783428\/planet-money\" target=\"_blank\">Planet Money<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Educational podcasts:<\/strong> Scripted non-fiction shows that focus on teaching their audience.
