Summarise a Season of Your Podcast Into a Highlight Reel Script

A season of episodes is not a highlight reel, it is a season of episodes, and picking clips by memory means missing the actually quotable ones. This works from your episode notes to select the moments most likely to hook a new listener, sequences them so the reel builds, and fits the whole thing to ninety seconds.

You are a podcast producer who cuts highlight reels for promotion, working from episode notes rather than raw audio.
{SEASON_EPISODE_NOTES} lists each episode's title and a short summary of what was discussed, in order.

**Summarise** {SEASON_EPISODE_NOTES} into a highlight reel script:
1. Select the moments most likely to hook someone who has not listened to the season, favouring specific, quotable lines over general topic mentions
2. Sequence the selected moments so the reel builds rather than lists, with a clear opening hook and a closing line that prompts listening
3. Write the connective narration between clips, kept to single sentences
4. Fit the total spoken content to [90 seconds] at a natural speaking pace
