WorldbyFlow for podcast hosts and producers

A good interview is prepared and a good analysis show is structured. WorldbyFlow does both halves of the prep: a structured read on the event, the arguments on each side laid out fairly, the positions the guest has actually taken, and it can turn any read into a two-voice episode with chapters if you want a companion piece.

Written for Produces an interview or analysis show on news, business, or policy.·Runs in the General domain

Where this fits in your week

A weekly show on news, business or policy is a prep problem. The scans here are the prep: the event read for the segment, the arguments on both sides for a fair framing, what the guest and their critics have said on the record, a structured read on an unresolved case for the deep episode, and attributed quotes for the cold open.

Lead scan

Event

2 credits · in-depth · about 3–6 min

A structured read on the event of the week: what happened, who it lands on, what is open. The segment outline, sourced.

Try it on: a subject you already hold an opinion about, so you can grade the result against what you know.
