# How to Create Podcast Transitions with Claude

Claude designs podcast transitions as a coordinated set in your terminal. Generate multiple transition styles, adjust energy levels through conversation, and ensure all pieces share a consistent audio identity. Claude can match transitions to your existing intro music because you describe the relationship in natural language.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Generate podcast transition sounds using sound-effect-generator" and describe your show
3. Claude creates a set of transition effects matched to your podcast style
4. Request: "Make a subtle one for minor topic shifts and a stronger one for segment changes"
5. Download and add to your podcast editing template

## Example Prompt

```
Generate podcast transitions for a business interview show: subtle topic shift swoosh, segment change stinger, ad break transition, and episode closing chime.
```

## Tips

- Keep transitions between 1 and 3 seconds -- they should signal, not interrupt
- Ask for transitions at different energy levels for different types of breaks
- Generate a matching set so all transitions feel cohesive within your show
