AI Reviewer Template: Podcast Episode Review

A reviewer designed for podcast producers and hosts who need to ensure episode scripts, outlines, and show notes meet quality standards before recording. This template evaluates narrative arc and flow, guest question preparation, audience engagement hooks, show notes completeness, and production cue accuracy. Whether you produce interview-style, solo, or panel podcasts, this reviewer catches structural problems that are expensive to fix in post-production. The reviewer flags common podcast content issues like episodes that lack a clear narrative arc, guest questions that are too generic or repetitive, missing calls to action for audience engagement, show notes that do not accurately reflect episode content, and production cues that are ambiguous or missing. It also evaluates whether the episode content aligns with the overall show positioning and target listener profile.
