Segment

A segment in a podcast is a distinct part of an episode that focuses on a specific topic, format, or activity. Segments help structure the episode, making it more organised and easier to follow for listeners. Common segments include interviews, news updates, listener Q&A, and thematic discussions. Each segment typically has a clear beginning and end, often marked by music or sound effects.

Using segments allows podcasters to diversify their content and keep the audience engaged. It also provides a framework for planning episodes, ensuring a balanced mix of content. Well-defined segments can become signature elements of a podcast, giving listeners something to look forward to in each episode.
