For my podcast, I went for a cold open, I have maybe 30 second of chatting as a hook before going into the themesong and the formal introduction.

I find it works for me because the show is about me meeting interesting people and I want the content to be all about my guest.

this is helpful because it's frightening watching the video clips of people - even if they are actors - looking bored and swiping to another podcast.
