Podcast Research & Outreach Consultant

Oct 2023 - Present • 2 yrs 11 mos

I began focusing on podcast research and outreach after seeing how difficult it can be for experts to find shows that genuinely match what they have to offer. My role grew from researching potential podcasts into managing the complete outreach process. I research relevant shows, find host and contact information, evaluate audience and topic fit, organize prospect lists, prepare personalized pitches, send outreach, handle follow-ups, and maintain campaign tracking. I focus on quality and relevance rather than sending the same message to hundreds of hosts. Each campaign is structured around the client's expertise, story, speaking topics, and ideal audience so the outreach feels relevant to the host. This experience has given me hands-on knowledge of podcast prospecting, guest pitching, outreach organization, lead generation, and booking workflows.

Podcast Outreach & Guest Booking Specialist

Feb 2022 - Present • 4 yrs 7 mos

I work with founders, coaches, consultants, authors, speakers, and industry experts who want to turn their expertise into podcast interview opportunities. My work usually starts with research. I identify podcasts that match a client's niche, expertise, target audience, and talking points rather than simply collecting large lists of random shows. I review podcast topics, guest profiles, audience fit, contact details, and previous episodes to build targeted opportunities. From there, I handle personalized podcast pitching and host outreach, making sure each pitch gives the host a clear reason why the guest could be relevant to their audience. I also manage follow-ups, organize responses, track conversations, and keep the campaign structured from the first contact through booking. Over time, I've built a practical workflow around podcast research, guest pitching, lead generation, outreach, follow-up, and campaign tracking. The goal is simple: help clients spend less time searching for opportunities and more time preparing for the interviews that fit their expertise.
