Show planning software for podcasts & radio

Stop winging it. Plan your episodes like a pro.

Whether you're running a two-person interview podcast or a live radio show with call-ins, a solid rundown keeps your content tight and your recording sessions efficient. Rundown Studio gives you a purpose-built tool to outline segments, track timing, and keep your entire team aligned — so you spend less time in post-production fixing problems you could have avoided.

Outline every segment of your show

Map out your intro, interview blocks, ad reads, music beds, and outro in a structured timeline. Add columns for hosts, producers, and audio engineers so everyone knows what's happening and when. Drag and drop to restructure segments on the fly, with automatic time calculations keeping your total runtime in check.

• ✅ Segment-by-segment breakdown with timing for each block
• ✅ Automatic runtime calculations update as you rearrange

Keep hosts, producers, and guests in sync

Share your show rundown with co-hosts, producers, audio engineers, and guests through a simple private link — no account or app download needed. Control who can view or edit specific columns so your guest only sees their talking points while your producer sees the full picture.

• ✅ Invite your team and guests to collaborate for free
• ✅ Role-based access — control visibility per column
• ✅ No app install required, just open the link on any device

Reuse show formats episode to episode

Most podcasts and radio shows follow a recurring structure. Duplicate a previous rundown as your starting template and update the details for each episode. Maintain consistency across your weekly show, special episodes, or different series within your network.

• ✅ Duplicate and adapt rundowns in seconds
• ✅ Build templates for different show formats

Attach scripts, questions, and reference material

Embed interview questions, ad copy, show notes, and reference links directly into your rundown. Use rich text formatting, color coding, and checklists so hosts can scan their notes at a glance during recording without fumbling through separate documents.

• ✅ One central place for all show prep material
• ✅ Color code and format cells for fast scanning during recording

Live segment tracking for radio and live podcasts

When you're broadcasting live, your team can follow along in real time. Segment tracking shows exactly where you are in the rundown, so your producer, audio engineer, and call screener always know what's coming next — even when the host goes on a tangent.

• ✅ Real-time updates across all devices instantly
• ✅ Keep live shows on track without hand signals

Countdown timers for hosts and producers

Turn any tablet, monitor, or phone into a dedicated display showing segment timers, countdowns, or show notes. Set up a countdown for your host so they know when to wrap up a segment, or a producer view showing the full show timeline with what's coming next.

• ✅ Countdown and count-up timers for hosts and guests
• ✅ Focused views for each team member's role
