Marketing 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.

First, identify podcasts that cover your specific niche and are actively booking guests, like those in this directory. Then, craft a concise pitch that shows you understand their show and can deliver value to their audience. The pitch should propose concrete topic ideas, not just your biography. After you appear, ensure your key points and a link to your site are in the show notes, as this is the text AI engines may read and cite.

A realistic response rate varies, but a well targeted, personalised pitch to a show that is a strong fit might get a reply from 10 to 20 percent of hosts. Many do not reply due to volume. A follow up email after one week is acceptable, but pitching more shows that are a good fit is often more effective than chasing non responders.

The link in the show notes typically appears when the episode is published, which could be weeks or months after recording. The mention itself, as a cited page in an AI answer engine, depends on when the engine's crawler reads that page and when a user asks a relevant question. There is no promised timeline for an AI citation.

No. Mentionry finds marketing podcasts looking for guests, judges the fit based on your expertise, and helps you draft and send a pitch from your own email. It cannot control a host's decision to book you. Its role is to improve the efficiency and relevance of your outreach, not to promise placements.

Engines like Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Perplexity crawl and index podcast show notes and blog posts associated with episodes. When a user asks a question about marketing, the models can cite these pages as sources in their answers. A clear, authoritative show note with your insights and a link to your site can become a source the engine references.
