Entrepreneurship podcasts looking for guests

All 18 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.

Start by identifying podcasts that interview guests in your specific niche, not just general business shows. Prepare a clear, story driven topic that offers actionable advice. Craft a concise pitch email that outlines this topic and your relevant expertise. Follow the show's submission guidelines exactly. Success comes from relevance and a specific point of view, not from a generic company pitch.

No, a full media kit is often counterproductive for podcast pitches. Hosts typically want a quick read of your idea. Include a one line bio, a link to your LinkedIn profile or personal website, and perhaps a short video clip demonstrating you can speak engagingly on the topic. You can offer to provide a full kit if they are interested, but do not lead with it as an attachment.

Podcast hosts and producers receive many pitches. If you have not heard back in two weeks, it is reasonable to send one polite follow up email. If there is still no response after that, consider the pitch declined and focus on other opportunities. A non response is the most common outcome, so do not take it personally.

This is not a barrier. Many podcasts seek fresh voices. Your credibility comes from your specific experience and ideas, not your media history. In your pitch, you can acknowledge you are new to podcasts but express enthusiasm for the format. You might even offer to do a short test recording to help the host feel comfortable.

Mentionry's system reads publicly available directories and RSS feeds from podcasts, conferences, and publications. It filters these lists based on activity, such as recent guest episodes, and matches them against the expertise and topics you have defined in your account. It surfaces only the opportunities where there is a measurable alignment, which you then review and approve before any outreach is sent.
