Outline for a Video Podcast | Episode -1 Script Outline

Here's my initial proposed outline. Make sure to scroll through the comments to see where we ended up.


  1. Introduce ourselves and the show
  2. Interview each other about personal goals
  3. History of how this came about
  4. -- Streaking --
  5. Tech talk on how we are making this work
    1. Camera and equipment to record it
    2. How we are getting it on the interwebs
  6. B-school tip of the week
  7. One thing you learned this week
Tom, I'm eager to get your thoughts.

  1. I'm assuming we'll also have a regularly occurring part 0 which is our SloanTV intro. A la HubSpot TV.

    -- I'm assuming when you saying streaking that you are referring to Erdin Beshimov. -- Yes, this is a good idea.

    We should also steal the "What are you doing this weekend" segment.

    What we are doing this weekend feels weird to me on Wednesday. I like the move to something personal, but if there something more midweek appropriate?

    Also, is 8 mini-segments too much? It feels like a lot to me. If you had to cut, would you?

    You may be right. I have no sense of how time works on camera. I suppose that if we do 2 minutes per segment then 8 segments becomes 16 minutes?

    The welcome is about 10 seconds long though, so it doesn't really count.

    I changed the one thing you learned this week to 'What's on your radar?'. 'One thing you learned this week' sounds too much like 'b-school tip of the week'. (Which I also changed to 'business tip of the week'.

    9. Call-to-action

    I added a call to action item to the agenda. Just like a good landing page, in every episode we need a prominent call to action right at the end of the episode. This could be something along the lines of, 'like-ify our facebook fan page', or 'become an intern.'

    Great point. I don't know if I want to end on a call to action though. Perhaps earlier in the show with the expectation they will multi task. I've moved it up in the order here
