What Is a Podcast Trailer Episode?
A podcast trailer—also called a “teaser” or “intro” episode—is a short, engaging clip that announces a new show and invites listeners to subscribe. Think of it as the trailer for a movie: it’s designed to create curiosity, convey tone, and hook the audience before they encounter the full series. A well‑crafted trailer can set expectations, highlight your unique angle, and give prospects a taste of the host’s voice, the episode format, and the value they’ll receive.
