One podcast I listen to rather regularly is the New York Time’s The Daily. The podcast starts with an introduction from the lead journalist setting the stage for the upcoming story. The introduction is usually scripted and is then followed by a series of interviews that compliment the story. Music is usually only used as transitions between scripted dialogue and interview clips. The outro is usually a simple summary of the story, perspective into what the future of the story holds, and sign-off by the journalist.
