How to Set Up Your First Week with Radio Content Pro

You just signed up for Radio Content Pro. Your inbox has a welcome email, For You is waiting, and you're wondering: where do I even start?

I get it. New tools can feel overwhelming. But here's the thing — your first week isn't about mastering everything. It's about exploring, experimenting, and finding the pieces that fit your show. By day seven, you'll have a workflow that saves you hours every single day.

I'm Ava, Radio Content Pro's show-prep partner. Let me walk you through it.

What You'll Find When You Log In

The first time you sign in, my interview opens: «Let's build your Character Profile». Fill in the basics (on-air name, language, «Station timezone»), press «Start the interview», and we'll do a short interview together. Answer my questions yourself, let me draft some answers for you, or paste something you've already written, like your bio. You approve every answer before I save anything. Then For You fills with stories picked for your show.

After that, For You is your home base. Here's what's waiting for you in the menu:

• For You: the stories I pick for your show each morning, each with a ready-to-air tease or a line on why it's for you
• Browse: every story you can use, not just my picks, with «Top 10 today» and «Trending»
• Saved: stories you've kept for later
• Show Builder: your show, built by the time you choose
• Daily Prep: my prep, built before you wake up
• Ask Ava: me, on any page, for anything (including how to use the app)

Don't try to absorb it all at once. Start by clicking around. See what catches your eye. It works on a phone too: the menu is behind the bar at the top of the screen.

Your Daily Prep Email — What's Inside

Every weekday at 1 AM Pacific, my Daily Prep lands in your inbox. By the time your alarm goes off, your show prep is already done.

Here's what you'll find each morning:

Two Talk Topics — one focused on relationships (the universal connector), plus a rotating theme that changes daily. These are designed to get phones ringing and listeners engaged.

Daily Situations — "What would you do?" scenarios that practically write themselves into compelling radio. Perfect for sparking debate and call-ins.

The Impossible Question — a brain-teaser to challenge your listeners and keep them hooked through the first hour.

10 Trivia Questions — ready for contests or segment breaks.

Rotating Weekly Features:

• Monday: Hot Takes
• Tuesday: Would You Rather
• Wednesday: Whiner Wednesday
• Thursday: Random Thoughts
• Friday: Confessions

Plus fresh content pulled every day: news headlines, celebrity birthdays, horoscopes, and Today in Music History.

Think of the daily email as your morning download — everything you need to walk into the studio confident. It's in the app too: open «Daily Prep» from the menu, press «Copy everything», and pick the sections that go word for word at the top of your show. Explore all features to see the full list.

Exploring Story Content — Everything Per Story

Here's where RCP really shines. Every story isn't just a headline — it's a complete content package ready to use on air and online.

For understanding the story («The Story» tab):

• «Why it matters», «Key facts», «Talk angles» and «Quotes» where there are any
• «Article source» to open the original article

In your voice («In my voice» tab):

• Press «Read it in my voice» and I write the story the way you talk.

For on-air and digital use («Content» tab):

• Teases (ready to read before breaks)
• Scripts
• Responses
• Phone Topics (conversation starters for call-ins)
• Blog Post (ready for your website)
• Social Posts

Press «Generate» on the piece you want, then «Copy». RCP does 90% of the work — your personality adds the final 10%.

Check out show prep for your format to see how this adapts to your station's audience.

Using Ava to Make Content Yours

This is where the magic happens. I'm here to make the content sound like you — not like a template.

Ask Ava from any page — Press the round button in the corner and my panel opens beside the page. I know what you're looking at, so you can ask about this story, this show or today's prep.

«Ask Ava about this →» — On any story, this opens my panel with a question about the story, ready to send.

«Article source» — Every story links back to its original source. Verify facts, get additional context, or explore angles we didn't cover.

Character Profile — This one's important. Your interview tells me your on-air personality — your voice, your style, your market, your vibe — and I remember it. Every time you ask me for something, I tailor it to YOU. Add tone notes any time in «Your notes to Ava» on your Profile.

What can I do once you've set up your profile?

• Write any story in your voice
• Change the tone: "Make it funnier."
• Shorten pieces to fit your break length: "Make it shorter."
• Localize content with references to your market: "Make it more local."
• Give you a fresh angle: "Give me another version."
• Put my answer into your show with «Save to show»

Use me as much or as little as you want. Not sure how to do something in the app? Ask me that too. My answer can end with a button to the right screen.

Building Your First Week Workflow

Don't try to use everything at once. Seriously. Pick what lights you up and build from there.

Days 1-3: Explore

Open your daily email each morning. Click around For You and Browse. Try «In my voice» on one story. No pressure to use anything on air yet — just get comfortable with what's available.

Days 4-5: Identify Your Favorites

By now you'll notice patterns. Maybe you love the phone topics. Maybe the trivia is perfect for your morning contest. Maybe the social content saves your digital team hours. Focus on the pieces that fit your show.

Days 6-7: Build Your Routine

Now it's time to lock in a workflow:

1. Check your Daily Prep email each morning
2. Pick 2-3 stories that resonate
3. Get them in your voice with «In my voice»
4. Set your show schedule in Show Builder so your show is ready by the time you need it
5. Prep your phone topics for listener engagement

Check out the plans to make sure you're getting the most from your subscription. When your 7-day free trial ends, choose a plan in the app.
