Author: Alitu via The Podcast Host December 19, 2024 Duration: 45:18

Being interviewed on another podcast is a great way to bring value to a wider audience and grow your own as a result. But most podcasters (even those who don't run interview shows) have inboxes choked full of spammy and cynical requests to guest on their show. On this episode, we'll show you how to create a compelling pitch that actually gets seen by its intended recipient. Who knew such things were possible?

On top of that, we discuss podcast listener pet peeves, as well as the various ways you can (effectively) get feedback on your podcast!
