If one of the attractions of podcasting is its spontaneous, conversational feel, why should podcasters take the time to plan their recordings?

a. Individual podcasts that aren’t well thought out can end up being rambling, confusing, and repetitive.

b. Podcasts are more difficult to edit than textual messages, so it’s important to do enough planning to help avoid major mistakes.

c. If you don’t plan ahead, you could run out of ideas and therefore have no reason to continue podcasting.

d. All of the above are reasons to plan podcasts.
