Cybersecurity podcasts looking for guests

Shows in cybersecurity that have published recently and that put a booking address in their own feed. Both of those are checked, because a directory of dead shows looks identical to a good one until somebody wastes a week on it.

11 cybersecurity shows, read on 14 August 2026. Apple's public podcast search, then each show's own feed.

There are 11 cybersecurity podcasts here that book guests, each confirmed to have published an episode within the last 120 days and each listing a booking address published in its own RSS feed. 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.

One pitch, about their show

The address in a feed is published so hosts can be reached about the show. A template about your company sent to twenty of these does more damage than sending nothing. Pick three, listen to an episode, and say which one.

Why cybersecurity podcasts matter for AI visibility

When a buyer asks an answer engine for advice on a security topic, the engine often cites podcast episodes as sources. ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity pull quotes and recommendations from these shows to build their answers. A mention on a relevant podcast becomes a citation in an AI generated overview, reaching buyers at the moment they are researching.

The podcasts in this directory are measured. Each has published an episode within the last 120 days and lists a public booking address in its RSS feed. This means the hosts are actively seeking guests and have a process for it. These are not outdated lists or closed submissions.

What cybersecurity podcasts looking for guests want

Podcast hosts look for guests who can provide clear, actionable insight on a specific niche. Common topics include cloud security, threat intelligence, compliance frameworks like GDPR or HIPAA, application security, and security leadership. They rarely want a general overview of cybersecurity.

Your pitch must show you understand their audience. Listen to one or two episodes. Note the tone, the depth of technical detail, and the types of questions the host asks. Your proposed topic should fit that format and offer a fresh angle, not repeat what a previous guest has already covered.

How to pick the three worth pitching

Do not pitch every show. Select the three that best match your provable expertise. First, match the podcast's stated focus to your own experience. If you specialise in DevSecOps, a podcast about security awareness training is a poor fit.

Second, consider the audience. A show for CISOs requires a strategic, business risk perspective. A technical deep dive podcast needs concrete examples and code snippets. Third, check the citation potential. A show that publishes detailed show notes with links gives you a clear path to an earned citation.

What to send and what not to send

Send a short email to the published booking address. The subject line should be clear, for example, "Guest pitch: [Your Specific Topic]". In the body, introduce yourself in one line, link to your professional profile, and propose two or three specific talking points. Explain why your topic is relevant to their listeners now. Attach a professional headshot and a bio written in the third person.

Do not send a generic blast, a long resume, or demands for specific questions in advance. Do not promise a link. The host decides what to cite. Your goal is a compelling conversation that naturally leads to a mention of your work or company.

Where Mentionry fits in the process

Mentionry finds these opportunities for you. Its Act module reads sources like podcast RSS feeds against your defined niche. It judges each listing against what you can honestly talk about. For the matches it finds, it drafts the pitch email using your brand kit.

You review and edit the draft in the Desk. When you approve it, Mentionry sends the email from your own connected mailbox. It never places, publishes, or pays for a link. After the appearance, Mentionry's Monitor can track if and how the episode is cited by answer engines like Claude or Google AI Overviews, measuring your AI visibility.

Questions

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.

These pages cover the subjects we publish. Give Mentionry a domain and it runs the same sources against your niche, judges each opening against what you can honestly say, and drafts the approach. Then it sends it from your own mailbox, once you have read it.
