What you will get

A subject line and a pitch under 150 words that names an episode you liked, offers your angle and three talking points, and says what listeners will gain, plus a short follow-up for a week later.

Common mistake

The episode you “liked” is made up.

Fix: Fill in a real episode you have listened to and one thing it taught you. The AI will invent a title if you leave the field blank.

Also watch for

The pitch is about you, not the listeners. Ask it to start with what the audience gets from the episode and to keep your bio to two lines.
The talking points repeat a recent episode. Check the show’s last ten episodes and tell the AI which topics were just covered, so your angle is new.

Try a variation: pitch a co-host swap

If you also host a show, ask for a pitch offering an episode swap, where each of you appears on the other’s podcast.

Add one line that links to a recording of me speaking, and make the subject line more specific to their show.
