Hospitality 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.

You become a guest by matching your specific expertise to a podcast's needs and pitching correctly. First, identify podcasts that book guests in your niche, like those listed here. Listen to an episode to understand their format. Then, craft a concise email pitch that proposes a single, concrete topic you can discuss, explaining why it is relevant to their listeners. The pitch should demonstrate you have listened to the show and can provide unique value, not just promotion.

You can find them through directories that track RSS feeds for booking addresses, like the one on this page. Other sources include podcast hosting platforms that list guest-seeking shows, and social media where hosts sometimes post calls for guests. The most reliable method is to look for a 'Be a Guest' link on a podcast's own website. Mentionry automates this discovery by continuously reading these directories and filtering the results for your specific areas of expertise.

Yes, they can. When an answer engine like Claude or Google AI Overviews generates an answer, it cites its sources. A podcast episode page that mentions your brand or links to your site is a citable source. If the engine deems that page relevant, it may cite it, increasing your brand's visibility in AI answers. The link itself also contributes to the engine's understanding of your site's authority on a topic, which can influence how it answers related questions.

Avoid vague topics, overly promotional language, and not tailoring the pitch. Do not propose a topic the podcast covered extensively in its last three episodes. Do not send a generic blast to multiple shows without changing the name. Do not attach large files unsolicited. Avoid making unrealistic promises about your audience size or the traffic you will bring. The pitch should be focused on the value you provide to the podcast's existing audience, not what you hope to get from them.

No. Mentionry never promises a placement, a link, or a citation. It finds measured opportunities, drafts the pitch based on your brand's truth, and sends it from your email after you approve. Whether a host replies and books you is their decision. The platform's role is to increase the efficiency and relevance of your outreach by handling the research and initial drafting, so you can focus on the opportunities with the highest potential fit.
