Our goal at Solid Gold with podcast intros is to help the listener very quickly understand what is in store for them. To “chunk up” the podcast objectives, concepts, and content into a very short easily remembered and powerful statement that epitomises all that is to follow. You could even think of it as the modern-day offspring of the old elevator pitch concept.
Don’t be fooled!
This is no easy task!
…but one that is superbly achieved by Shane Parrish… (take a listen).
Isn’t that just amazing? :-)

NB! This is not to be confused with the trailer which is intentionally longer and more detailed. But more about trailers another time.
