Fun Facts: When you're writing for live radio (so, no chance to edit!) there are key aspects rather different from ordinary writing (that people will read). One important aspect is to make sure that you have inline notes that remind you of correct pronunciations of anything at all tricky (I simply write such words phonetically in my scripts). And it's also crucial to write in sentences short enough so that you don't run out of breath in embarrassing ways. Similarly, it's essential to test read scripts out loud to make sure you haven't written in any "tongue twisters" that are fine to read but a mess to say out loud! Unfortunately, the script itself (like any ordinary transcript) cannot reasonably give readers the full impact of the spoken version, since inflection, timing, emphasis, sarcasm, and more are typically lost in the written version when read later.
