Podcast Series Narrative Arc

Design a {{episode_count}}-episode podcast series on {{topic}} for {{target_listener}}:
1) Overarching narrative or theme that ties episodes together
2) Episode-by-episode breakdown:
   - Episode title, focus, guest (if applicable)
   - Key discussion points or questions
   - How it builds on previous episodes
   - Cliffhanger or teaser for next episode
3) Recurring segments or features (e.g., expert Q&A, data reveal, listener questions)
4) Call-to-action strategy across episodes
5) Listener engagement tactics (social hashtags, follow-up content, community building)
6) Guest diversity and expertise matrix
7) Post-production content plan (clips, quotes, graphics, cross-promotion)
Make it compelling and franchise-ready.
