What is Onir?
Onir is Wery's podcast and spoken word content expert, responsible for program positioning, episode structure, interview questions, host scripts, show notes and recordable scripts.
Program form
Different program formats require different structures.
- Single person podcast: point of view narration, knowledge explanation, brand column.
- Two-person dialogue: division of labor by moderator, advancement of questions and transitions.
- Interview: Introduction of guests, order of questions, and direction of inquiry.
- Short-form broadcast: 90 seconds to 5 minutes social media or advertising spoken-word broadcast.
- Data-to-program: Turn articles, research, and conference proceedings into audible scripts.
Workflow
The goal of Onir is to be audible, not to be beautifully written.
- Describe the program's theme, audience, duration, language and hosting style.
- Provide materials: articles, web pages, research, transcriptions, audio notes, or historical programs.
- Generate the structure first: opening, body, transition, ending, and CTA.
- Generate readable scripts, controlling sentence length and pauses.
- When you need a musical intro, leave it to Lydi.
Script quality check
A good oral script should read naturally.
- Have a question hook in the opening, not like a thesis abstract.
- Only talk about one core point in each paragraph.
- Make transitions natural and avoid rigid lists.
- The sentences are short and easy to read aloud.
- At the end there is a summary, a preview of the next issue or suggestions for action.
- Interview questions should be asked from light to deep, leaving room for follow-up questions.
