Get Early AccessComing up with podcast topic ideas week after week is one of the hardest parts of running a show. You know your niche, you have opinions, but translating that into a structured list of episodes that keep listeners coming back takes real planning. Most podcasters hit a content wall within the first few months, and inconsistency is the top reason shows go inactive.
This prompt generates episode ideas organized by purpose. You specify your [NICHE] and [AUDIENCE], then select your [FORMAT] and [STAGE] so the output matches whether you're launching a brand-new show or refreshing an established one. The generator produces evergreen topics for long-term discoverability, timely ideas tied to current conversations, and community-focused episodes that build listener loyalty.
Each idea comes with a working title, episode structure, guest suggestions, and repurposing notes for social media. If you need companion content, try the YouTube video ideas generator to turn your best episodes into video content. Open the prompt in the Dock Editor to customize variables and generate your episode calendar instantly.
Paste this prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or the Dock Editor. Fill in [NICHE] with your specific podcast subject area. Be precise. 'Personal finance for millennials' works better than just 'money' because the AI can target your actual audience.
Write a short profile for [AUDIENCE] covering who they are and what they care about. Then select [FORMAT] from options like solo commentary, interview-based, or co-hosted conversation. This shapes whether the generated ideas include guest suggestions or solo talking points.
Choose your [STAGE] so the output prioritizes launch-ready topics, discoverability plays, or sponsor-friendly themes depending on where your show stands. Use [COVERED] to list topics you have already recorded so the AI avoids repeating them.
Fill in [TRENDS] with any current events, viral conversations, or seasonal themes in your niche. Select [EPISODE_COUNT] to control whether you get a month of ideas or a full quarterly calendar.
Scan the generated ideas and pick the strongest from each category. Reorder them into a publishing schedule that alternates between evergreen, timely, and community episodes to keep your feed balanced and your audience engaged.
Build a launch plan with 10 to 20 episode ideas before recording the first one. Having a backlog of topics prevents the 'what do I talk about next' panic that kills new shows within the first quarter.
Generate commentary and deep-dive topics that work without guests. Set [FORMAT] to solo commentary and get self-contained episode structures with segment breakdowns and talking points you can record in one sitting.
Plan themed episodes around guest types and talking points. Each generated idea includes potential guest profiles, so you can pitch specific people with a clear episode concept instead of a vague 'come on my show' request.
Generate content calendars across multiple shows in a portfolio. Run the prompt for each show's niche to produce coordinated topic schedules that avoid overlap and create cross-promotion opportunities between programs.
Start by identifying questions your target audience asks repeatedly in forums, social media, and communities. This prompt does that work for you by generating ideas based on your [NICHE] and [AUDIENCE]. It separates evergreen topics from timely ones so you cover both searchable subjects and current conversations your listeners care about.
Plan at least 8 to 12 episodes ahead before launching, and maintain a rolling 4 to 6 week buffer once your show is live. This prompt lets you generate batches of 5 to 20 ideas at once, making it easy to build a quarterly content calendar that keeps publishing consistent even during busy weeks.
A good podcast topic sits at the intersection of your genuine interest, your audience's curiosity, and a unique angle competitors haven't explored. It should be specific enough to promise a clear takeaway. This prompt structures ideas around these criteria by factoring in your [TONE], [FORMAT], and current [TRENDS].
Rotate between content categories like evergreen education, timely commentary, and community interaction episodes. Use [COVERED] to list topics you have already recorded so the AI avoids duplicating them. Mixing [FORMAT] styles across episodes also keeps your show feeling fresh for returning listeners.
