PodcastGuests.com connects podcast hosts seeking guests with experts looking for interview appearances. Podcasters can submit shows for newsletter features and invite people from the directory for free. Guests receive two free email newsletters each week with opportunities, but need to review them and pitch relevant shows themselves; the service describes itself as do-it-yourself. Paid directory profiles serve as contact pages for podcasters and can include a bio, discussion topics, ten sample interview questions, a photo, social links, websites, and previous media appearances. Basic costs 20.00 USD per month and includes one category and one website link. Premium costs 45.00 USD per month, includes two categories and up to three website and social links, and adds rotating newsletter features and placement above Basic profiles. Shows in email features are expected to have an Apple Podcasts or Spotify listing, though directory invitations are available to other shows. Guests and podcasters may not charge each other for appearances. The web service also offers a free plan. Agencies with five or more active Premium client profiles may receive a 15% discount.
Who it is for
It suits podcasters seeking guests and experts willing to find relevant shows and pitch themselves. Agencies managing at least five active Premium client profiles may qualify for a discount.
