Can This Story Help You Write A Great Podcast Ending?

Now, let’s see how we can glean some useful lessons from this short story.

Have you ever watched the bible movie about Samson?

OK, let me tell you a little about it.

The Jews were under cruel bondage for disobeying the God of heaven and earth for almost 40 years.

God’s people were sore afflicted that he sent an angel to the wife of Manoah to tell her that she was carrying a special child.

Manoah her husband couldn’t believe it. So he prayed and asked God to reveal himself to him.

Sure enough, the angel of the Lord comes back to tell the couple that child she was carrying would be the deliverer of Israel and specific instructions were given that no razor should come upon the child’s head. Neither should he drink wine nor eat of the grape of the vine.

True to God’s word, Little Sampson grew into a very unique child with incredible strength and became a deadly thorn in the Philistines side on every side.

Over time, he grew so strong that he could kill a wild lion with bare hands. Once, he set the vineyard and orchid of the Philistines on fire and did many other marvelous things which are out of the ordinary.

But he had a problem. Guess what? The world’s most powerful man had a particularly soft spot for women. She flit from lady to another like a butterfly and finally got married to a Philistine against his parents will.

Once, Samson visited his wife but her father in law didn’t want him to see her because he wasn’t so sure what was on the young man’s mind. Samson later found out that his wife had been given to another man.

Full of rage, he went and caught three hundred jackals, and torched them and released them into the grain fields, the vineyards and olive groves of the Philistine’s.

When they got to know why Samson had lost his mind, they burned Samson’s father in law and her daughter to death with fire.

Later, he fell in love with a prostitute called Delilah. Delilah was persuaded by her country folks to find out the source of this very powerful and strong man’s strength. But Samson wouldn’t budge.

After pestering him for so long, he told her that if he’s tied with ropes he can be easily captured and tortured.

With the evil men hiding in Delilah’s chamber, she tied Samson and told him that his enemies were coming after him.

Upon realizing that he was danger, God’s spirit descended on him like fire and he snapped the rope like a mere wrist band and killed a thousand of them with a jawbone.

He had deceived his charming evil queen. This went on for quite some time until he senselessly let his secret out.

He told Delilah about God’s plan not to have his hair shave off. After luring him to bed, Delilah shaved off his locks and called him again to fight his enemies.

This time, he couldn’t stand them at all. He was captured and badly beaten like a very dangerous criminal and finally thrown into prison where he was made to grind corn and work so hard like a slave to the taunting remarks of the happy and scornful Philistines.

Finally, his eyes was removed with hot thongs and was humiliated like firing squad bound thief.

At a state dinner to honor their god, Dagon, he’s called to entertain the huge crowd in attendance.

Sensing the folly he had gotten himself into, he prayed to the God of heaven and said: ‘’ Forgive me my sins and strengthen me just once more.’’

Having said that prayer, a little strength returned to him and he pushed the pillars he was leaning so hard that it dropped like stones on almost everyone in the room, killing more people than he had in his lifetime.

You should have seen those on the top of the roof where the party was going on. They wished they had wings like birds to fly out of there. But no, they grounded into pieces like particles of sand and died.

Samson died too and was buried by his own family. How regrettable!

So, What Goes Into Creating A Podcast Outro Script?

Let me ask you this…which part of the story did you really enjoy? Although that was a short story, what stuck with me was the prayer he said at the end of his life.

Can You Use Any Of These To End Your Podcast Episode?

Speaking of the end of his life reminds me of how most podcasters close their shows.

If you have ever listened to an entire podcast show from start to finish, you would realize that most shows close with one or more of the following text or ideas.

Got any idea what they are?

1. The podcaster wraps up and thanks the listeners for sticking with him from the start of the show until the last words are spoken.

The benefit? It’s only human nature to show appreciation for someone’s time and effort and doing that shows you value and respect your listeners.

2. You might also give your loyal listeners a gift or a little surprise for hanging out with you . The benefit of this is similar to the point raised above.

3. You can recap the whole episode briefly by restating the main ideas….The reason for this? Recapping the main ideas would ensure that it gets burnished into your listeners’ mind. Thus, helping them to implement what they have learned from listening to your podcast show.

4. You can simply state your call to action at the end of your podcast episode.

You can ask them to visit your website to join your email list, leave a review on your podcast page or on any of the directories, or even follow you on social media sites like Facebook. Usually, most listeners may not take the desired action unless you offer them something specific in return.

For example, if you ask someone to join your mailing list, there should be a motivation for asking them to sign up.

Ok, I will explain further. If your episode is about ‘’How to sleep well at night’’, you can ask them to sign up for your newsletter to get stories of how people slept well after listening to that particular episode or followed a recommended path.

If your listener is having trouble sleeping well at night, then they would definitely check out on that offer to find out how people like him or her cured their insomnia.

5. Give your listeners a reason to come back with a teaser of what’s to come in the next show. For example, if that episode is a series, just let them know what you are going to talk about subsequently if your content is somewhat connected with your last episode. This not only creates continuity, but your listeners would ask friends and family to listen in if your content provides real value.

6. Also, use the closing lines of your podcast script to thank people like your production team and other guests who were on the show. If the list is too long, you can mention their names briefly and state their contribution to your show.

7. After all is said and done, you just have to wish your listeners well and simply sign off.

8. Your sponsors are paying your bills and it’s so important that you talk about them before you end your podcast show by letting your listeners know the products and services they offer.

So, Which Ideas(s) Should You Go For?

That seems like a tall list and you are probably thinking if you should plug all of that into your podcast show ending.

If you ask me if you should, I would say no to that.

Why? That’s because our minds can only take in a few things at a time. It’s like meeting an old friend and bombarding him with several questions on the spot. That friend might not only be confused but he or she would also end up answering one or two questions well.

So, before you wrap up, it’s always best to consider what your goals and objectives are for a particular podcast episode and pick what you really want to close your episode with.

If you are a seasoned podcaster and you have a pretty large following, you might briefly end your podcast with all eight tips.

However, if you are starting out and barely have an audience, then you can probably leave out the following from what you are going to say at end of your show.

· Sponsors if you are the sole financier of your show

· Thanking your production team if you are a one man band

If you are a new podcaster or don’t have a massive amount of listeners, then, I strongly suggest that you use your podcast outro to build your email list or grow your social media following instead.

Once, your audience grows, it would become way easier to get your audience to listen to your show, resulting in lots of downloads.

Once they ‘’walk through the door’’, you can add other things like name of sponsors and other thing that make up a great podcast outro.
