Adjust Your AI Relationship For Your Radio Show

You can use A.I. to help you create a radio break, but it won’t be perfect. Let’s dive into this week’s Beyond The 615 Column, article # 194: Adjust Your A.I. Relationship For Your Radio Show.

Here’s a conversation between someone I coach and A.I. after I pointed out that A.I. seems to give “moral of the story endings” to every on-air break idea.

RADIO DJ INSTRUCTING A.I.

“So, I have a coach that helps me sound better on the radio, and he feels like the wrap-up sentences that you generally put at the end of every story are not necessary. Maybe we can work on just the ending be the emotion or the reveal of the story as opposed to a summary of what was just shared. Thoughts?”

 

A.I. RESPONSE

“That’s great feedback—and your coach is right on target for live radio. Those wrap-up lines can sometimes feel a bit “buttoned up” or scripted, especially when the story already speaks for itself emotionally. If the content has already delivered the heart, humor, or surprise, there’s no need to restate it—we just let the moment land and trust the listener to feel it. So instead of wrapping with a summary or takeaway, we can aim to end on…”

• A visual or moment that sticks.
• A quote or phrase from the person in the story.
• A beat of emotion—even just silence or a breath after something powerful.
• Or sometimes, just stop talking—let the story do its job and roll into the next song or element.

 

So going forward, all stories will follow this refined structure:

1. Engaging opening line (ideally from the listener’s perspective).
2. Quick setup or conflict.
3. Heartwarming twist, fun fact, or emotional payoff.
4. Let the last moment breathe—no summary or “moral of the story” needed.


HERE’S THE TAKEAWAY


It takes time and effort for A.I. to get to know you and what you’re trying to accomplish. Continue to coach A.I. to adjust to your specific show, personality, and how it can help you become the best storyteller.
