What's up, everybody?

Pat Flynn here and welcome to episode 495 of Ask Pat.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

As always, I'm here to help you by answering your online business questions five days a week.

All right, here's today's question from Glenn.

Hi, Pat.

My name's Glenn.

I have another question for you today about podcasting and specifically regarding scripting for podcasts.

From what I understand, there's three different methods that a lot of people use for their

podcasts, scripting, ad lib, and creating a basic outline and following the outline. And I was wondering

if you've used any or all three of these methods, and if so, which ones have worked most

effectively for you? I find sometimes I stumble over my words,

so I'm kind of leaning towards scripting currently,

or at least creating an outline,

but I also don't want it to sound like I'm reading off a script.

I don't want it to sound manufactured and fake.

So I'm wondering if you use any of these methods, and if so, which one you like the best

and why. Thanks a lot. Love everything you do. Keep it up. Hey, Glenn, what's up? Thank you so much for the

question today. First of all, your mic sounds great. So you're getting into podcasting. Great job.

And I think you have the right mindset in terms of just making sure that you're approaching this in the right way. Now, when I started podcasting, I didn't really get any advice in terms of how to approach recording my show. I got some advice eventually in order to how to put it all together, but actually recording my voice was a big struggle for me.
