ChatGPT approaches podcast transitions as part of your show's audio identity, suggesting which types of transitions your format needs. Describe your show's tone and segment structure, and ChatGPT creates a cohesive transition set. The conversational approach produces transitions that feel intentional and branded rather than generic.
