Ever sit down to create an episode and your mind goes completely blank? I know the feeling. It’s so much easier to stay visible and consistent when you know exactly what you’ll talk about next—no last-minute panic, just pure confidence!
The image above is of the 3rd Season of Let's Go Live Show which AI and I worked on to get over two years of content if I do the show once a week!
This is where a content calendar comes in. It’s hands down one of the best tools for turning your show from a scramble into a strategy. Let’s talk about how you can use one to plan your show topics ahead and make going live (or recording!) that much easier.
Why use a content calendar for your show?
- Consistency: With scheduled topics and outlines, your audience knows when and what to expect—making them more likely to tune in again and again.
- Clarity: No more guessing what to do next or repeating topics too soon. Everything is mapped out.
- Less Stress: You can batch-create outlines or assets in advance. That means less rushing and more room for creativity.
- Room for Spontaneity: With your anchors planned, it’s easy to pop in a trending topic or address a subscriber question without losing momentum.
How to create your first content calendar:
- Pick your show frequency—weekly, biweekly, monthly—and block out those dates.
- Brainstorm 10-12 topic ideas that excite you or answer common questions you hear.
- Plug those ideas into your calendar, mixing in interviews, solo episodes, and Q&A sessions for variety.
- Review and adjust each quarter so your lineup stays fresh and relevant!
