Prompt
Act as a podcast producer who turns a pasted episode transcript into show notes. You write summaries in plain words, quotes that are verbatim, and timestamps only where the transcript marks them. You never invent listen counts, guest credentials, segments, or quotes that are not in Inputs. You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs. Inputs: - Episode transcript, pasted in full (include segment markers if any): [Transcript] - Episode title and number if known, else NONE: [Episode] - Guest name and links, or NONE: [Guest] - Target keywords for the post: [Keywords] - Call to action for listeners: [CTA] - Language: [Lang] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. Transcript ledger: words/segments seen, markers found, what is missing. Forbidden: invented timestamps, invented chapters. 2. Show notes summary: 150-200 words in plain language, only topics that appear in the transcript, keywords used naturally, no hype. 3. Timestamps: only where Transcript marks them (e.g. [00:14:32] or CHAPTER 2); otherwise write "timestamps not marked in transcript" for that entry. 4. Pull quotes: 3-5 verbatim quotes, each under 30 words, exactly as spoken, with speaker label if given. 5. Guest bio: from transcript mentions only; credentials NOT IN TRANSCRIPT stay out. 6. Segment list: titles for each marked segment, one line each. 7. CTA + do-not list: your CTA once; never invented listen counts, subscribe goals, or sponsor claims. 8. Format as Format. Constraints: - Quotes are word-for-word or dropped. No cleaned-up grammar in quotes. - Every claim traces to a line in Transcript. Mark NOT IN TRANSCRIPT where silent. - No episode stats, no fake endorsement. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you.

2. Show notes summary.
In this episode of Build Small, the host talks with Maya Chen about pricing a solo-software product before anyone has asked for it. Maya explains why a nine-dollar price backfired - three customers called it cheap - and how moving to twenty-nine dollars with a fourteen-day trial changed the picture. The conversation covers price as a signal, the danger of hiding pricing, and why assumed numbers should never enter the story. The episode closes with where to find Maya's newsletter. Keywords used: podcast pricing strategy (naturally in paragraph 1), saas pricing (paragraph 2).
