I work for a podcast production agency, and some of our podcasting clients also want to be guests on other shows. So we sometimes pursue paid options to investigate guest spot opportunities on other pods. For instance, we sometimes use PodMatch (a paid service) to find suitable shows to pitch our clients to as guests.
What I like about PodMatch (and possibly other services that match podcast hosts and guests) is that both hosts and wannabe guests have to go through an application process to get onto the site, plus they both have to pay to be on the site. I like this because I have a strong hunch that these two hurdles prevent crappy shows and low-quality guests from being on the site.
Just thought I'd mention all of this, in case it's helpful.
Thanks Lee! For this post, I didn't mention paid options like PodMatch or pay-to-play podcasts intentionally in order to keep the article as simple as possible (Maybe I'll do another post about them...).
PodMatch and Matchmaker.fm are really helpful for sure - appreciate you sharing this.
Thanks for your article, Neal. Great stuff.
