Help me outline a podcast episode.

The episode topic: [WHAT IT'S ABOUT]
Format: [SOLO / INTERVIEW / CO-HOSTED]
My audience: [WHO LISTENS]
What they should get from it: [THE TAKEAWAY]
Guest, if any: [WHO THEY ARE AND WHY THEM]
Rough length: [15 / 30 / 45+ MIN]

Give me:
1. Two or three hook options for the first 30 seconds, so people don't skip
2. A segment-by-segment flow that fits the length
3. For an interview: 8–10 questions that go beyond the obvious, ordered to build naturally
4. A couple of follow-up prompts to dig deeper if an answer is thin
5. A clear closing — the takeaway and one call to action

Keep questions open-ended, not yes/no. Make it easy to sound natural, not scripted. Don't invent facts about a guest — leave [RESEARCH] where I should look something up about them first.

Example scenario

A first-time host could use this to outline an interview with questions that build on each other instead of a flat Q&A.
