The document outlines initial plans for a podcast, including three potential format ideas: 1) A short-form news podcast that condenses topics into an accessible format, 2) A narrative podcast told through journal-style retelling of events, and 3) A silly podcast about pop music and beans. It then provides more details on developing the narrative podcast idea, including exploring similar existing podcasts, potential plotlines involving a private investigator investigating disappearances, options for casting either a single narrator or multiple character portrayals, and setting the story in a steampunk world to allow for immersive world-building.

Plot Ideas
Casting
Single Person Cast could work and
the product work through narration
(similar to an audio book)
Multiple people
could be cast to
portray characters
An Investigation of
several disappearances
by a private
investigator
The investigation
could unearth
something, perhaps
corruption or
perhaps something
otherworldly
Setting
The podcast will be
set in a Steampunk
style world. This
allows for
interesting world
building which can
help immerse the
reader
