THE SKINNY DAILY // HOST CHECKLIST
Tape this to your monitor
Mission60 seconds. One useful thing. Make it stick.
1. The Mental Pivot (3 seconds before)
Don't announce. Talk to one person.
You are not performing. You are sharing something useful.
If they can hear the segment start, you're too loud.
Classic Rock→ certainty
Country→ warmth
AC→ calm clarity
News / Talk→ authority
2. The Three Non-Negotiables
The IntroUse your own words. Connect it to your morning.
The HookHit the surprising truth. Make them lean in.
The Close"That's today's Skinny." Every time. No variations.
3. The 60-Second Clock
0:00 – 0:15Hook— the why
0:15 – 0:40Action— the how
0:40 – 0:55Local Bridge— make it theirs
0:55 – 1:00Sign-off— lock it
The Rule
If they can hear the segment, it's not ready.
Blend it until it's invisible.
