Podcast Audiogram Clip Picks, Cut Points and Specs
Scores a transcript for standalone quotes, sets exact cut points, and specs each audiogram's hook, captions, format, and post order.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can help you find quotes that might work as audiograms. Good audiogram quotes are usually punchy, standalone, and interesting without context. I'd need to read through your transcript and see what topics come up. Some episodes naturally have more quotable moments than others. Do you have a preference for what topics or moments the quotes should focus on?
AUDIOGRAM QUOTE SELECTION & PLAN TOPIC: Founder challenges during scaling TRANSCRIPT LENGTH: 52 minutes EPISODE THEME: "When Growth Breaks Your Systems" SELECTED QUOTES (Ranked by audiogram potential) 1. PRIMARY QUOTE (Highest engagement predicted) Quote: "We fired our entire leadership team the day we hit $10M ARR. Sounds drastic, but they weren't built for the next phase." Timestamp: 24:15-24:32 Why selected: Contrarian, specific number anchor, admits tough call Platform adaptation: Instagram Reels (27 sec clip with visual text overlay) Visual angle: Talking-head close-up with text banner "Leadership Rebuild" Call-to-action: "Listen to why growth demands new leaders" (swipe up) 2. SECONDARY QUOTE (Supporting social) Quote: "Your playbook that worked at $1M will actively slow you down at $10M. This is hard to accept." Timestamp: 18:42-18:55 Why selected: Relatability, scaling insight, slightly provocative Platform adaptation: TikTok / YouTube Shorts (Zoom on speaker face for 15s) Visual angle: Text overlay with graphics: $1M → $10M arrow Call-to-action: "Save this episode for every founder"(pin comment) 3. TERTIARY QUOTE (Repurposing to LinkedIn) Quote: "Process scales. People don't. You have to build systems that work without you in the room." Timestamp: 31:09-31:24 Why selected: B2B leadership angle, system-focused, practical wisdom Platform adaptation: LinkedIn video (CEO clip, professional setting) Visual angle: Talking-head + slide deck background Call-to-action: "What systems did your team build at this stage?" (comment prompt) AUDIOGRAM PRODUCTION PLAN Per-quote specs: • Length: 15-30 seconds (mobile viewing) • Thumbnail: High-contrast with episode number • Sound design: Fade in/out of podcast audio, no music • Accessibility: Burned-in captions (all text) TIMING STRATEGY • Quote 1: Release Day (social push) • Quote 2: Day 3 (follow-up engagement) • Quote 3: Day 7 (LinkedIn for B2B reach) BRAND CONSISTENCY Checked against your voice guide: Direct, no filler, founder-centric All quotes stay true to speaker intent (no cherry-picking) METRICS TO TRACK Expected CTR by platform: Instagram 3.2%, TikTok 4.8%, LinkedIn 1.8% Target: Drive 40+ new listeners per quote + newsletter sign-ups DELIVERABLE • 3 audiogram clips (edited video files ready to upload) • Captions file (burned-in + SRT for platforms) • Platform posting schedule + hashtag recommendations
About this skill
Your audiograms get 40 views. The waveform moves, the quote starts with "So yeah, I think what's interesting is...", and people scroll past before the point arrives. The problem usually isn't the episode. It's which moment got picked, where the cut starts, and the fact that most people watch with the sound off.
What it does
- Scores every candidate moment on a 10-point rubric: works without context, hooks in the first 3 seconds, specific, has tension, fits the listener. Only moments that score 7 or higher make the cut
- Sets cut points down to the word. It trims the warm-up, catches unresolved "that" and "he" references, and ends on the line that lands instead of a trailing "you know"
- Writes on-screen hook text that's separate from the quote, plus caption chunking that reads well with the sound off
- Specs each clip per platform: length, aspect ratio, safe zones, and speaker labels
- Writes post copy and a two-week posting sequence, including a separate cut for the guest to share
- Keeps quotes verbatim. It flags auto-transcript errors to check against the audio and never paraphrases inside quotation marks
What you get
A ranked clip sheet. Each clip has its timestamps, the exact verbatim quote with trims marked, a score, hook text, a format spec, and post copy. A posting calendar comes with it.
Best for
Podcasters and podcast producers who have a transcript and need 3-6 promo clips per episode that people actually stop for. That includes interview shows, solo shows, and agencies handling clip production for clients.
