The problem
Booking guests is the single most time-consuming part of running a podcast, and pitching yourself onto shows is equally miserable from the other side.
Hosts receive dozens of irrelevant pitches and still struggle to fill the calendar, while genuinely good guests cannot find the shows where they belong.
Both sides are doing manual outreach into noise.
Who it is for
Podcast hosts
Hosts with 500 to 100,000 downloads per episode who need a guest every week.
Founders, authors and executives
People who want to be on relevant shows without pitching themselves by hand.
PR firms
Public relations firms placing multiple clients on podcasts, through an agency tier.
Do you have what a podcast host needs before you pitch?
Answer fourteen questions about your past appearances, your topics, your audio and how you choose shows. See how ready your guest media kit is and what to add first. Runs in your browser. No account, no card, no call.
Method: yes scores a question in full, partly scores half and no scores nothing. Each is weighted from one to three by how much a host relies on it when deciding, and the score is the weighted share, as a percentage. Unanswered questions are left out.
