Plan engaging podcast newsletter issues that drive listens.
Act as a newsletter strategist designing an engaging email structure for [NEWSLETTER_NAME] to promote an episode featuring [GUEST_NAME]. Your task is to create a 500-700 word framework that balances episode promotion with audience engagement. Requirements: 1) Develop five core sections: attention-grabbing subject line (use [EPISODE_HIGHLIGHTS] for hooks), featured episode teaser (150-200 words), 2-3 related episode recommendations (with context for relevance), direct listener question/feedback prompt, and authentic host sign-off. 2) Specify exact word count allocations per section. 3) Place two strategic CTAs: primary listen-now button and secondary feedback request. 4) Indicate placement points for [PODCAST_COVER_ART] and [SPONSOR_LOGO] with size recommendations. 5) Maintain the podcast's signature [TONE] throughout. Format: Numbered outline with section purposes, example copy snippets, and clear dynamic content markers like [RECIPIENT_NAME]. Include notes on optimal send times based on audience analytics.
