B2B sales podcasts looking for guests

All 11 of them, on two tests rather than one. Each show has published an episode within the last 120 days, and each publishes a booking address in its own RSS feed rather than in a directory entry somebody else wrote. A directory of dead shows looks identical to a good one until somebody wastes a week on it, which is why both checks run before a row is listed.

Apple's public podcast search, then each show's own feed. The feed is the source that matters: it is published by the show, it carries the booking address the host chose to publish, and it carries the date of the most recent episode, so both the contact and the liveness check come from the show itself rather than from a third party.

This page was read on 2026-08-14, and that date is printed under the title on every page in this directory rather than hidden in a footer. Every row passed its checks on the day named, and rows that stop passing are removed rather than greyed out, so the count falls as well as rises.

One show at a time, about their show. The address in a feed is published so hosts can be reached about the programme, and a template about your company sent to twenty of them does more damage than sending nothing. Pick three, listen to an episode, and say which one. Show notes carry a link to the guest, which is why a booking converts far better than a cold link request: you are being invited rather than asking for a favour.

Mentionry reads podcast RSS feeds and booking pages for guest instructions and recent episodes. Its Opportunities list filters for shows that have published a guest episode in the last 120 days and have a clear way to pitch. It then judges each show against your brand's expertise, so you only see the ones where you can honestly contribute. You get a shortlist, not a firehose.

A specific topic tied to a recent episode, a sentence on why you are qualified to speak on it, and a link to a relevant talk or article. Keep it under 150 words. Do not attach files, do not send a generic bio, and do not praise the show without showing you have listened. Mentionry's AI Marketer drafts the pitch for you in the Desk, but you review and send it from your own mailbox.

No. Hosts care more about your ability to teach something useful than your follower count. A clear point of view, real examples from your work and a willingness to share what went wrong as well as what worked will set you apart. Many successful guests are practitioners, not celebrities.

Most pitches go unanswered. If a host is interested, they might reply within a week or two. Recording and publishing can take another month. Treat podcast guesting as a slow, compounding channel. One appearance can lead to citations in answer engines for years, but the timeline is measured in months, not days.

No. Mentionry never places, publishes or promises a booking. It finds the opportunities, judges them against your expertise, and drafts the pitch. Whether a host books you is entirely their decision. Mentionry gives you the list and the words; the rest is up to you and the host.
