Guesting on mental health podcasts: FAQ

Which mental health podcasts actually book outside guests?

Of the 24 mental health podcasts listed here we could read 24 public feeds on 16 August 2026, and 6 of those (25%) publish visible evidence of booking outside guests. The evidence is the show's own feed: a named guest in a recent episode title, or the show describing itself as an interview show. We count what is checkable rather than what a directory claims, so a show with no marker is not one we say never books guests, only one you would be pitching blind. Hacking Your ADHD, Mayim Bialik's Breakdown and Mental Illness Happy Hour are among them. 4 of the 24 had published nothing for roughly six months when we read them, which is worth checking before you spend a pitch on one.

How recently did these mental health podcasts publish an episode?

20 of the 24 mental health shows with a readable feed had published an episode within 90 days of the day we read that feed, by 16 July 2026. The newest episode in the niche was dated 15 Jul 2026. The table on this page gives the date for every one of them, so a guest can check the claim before spending a pitch on a show that has gone quiet.

How do I become a guest on a mental health podcast?

Pick shows whose audience matches your expertise, then send a short, specific pitch that names the episode you would help create. On Let's Make A Podcast you can build a free one-sheet, browse mental health shows, and get matched with hosts by fit instead of cold-emailing blindly.

What do mental health podcast hosts look for in a guest?

Hosts want depth and care: research, clinical experience, or lived experience shared responsibly. The more concrete and audience-ready your angle is, the easier it is for a host to say yes and book you.

Which mental health podcasts can I find in this directory?

We list 24 active mental health shows compiled from public podcast directories, including 10% Happier with Dan Harris and Emotionally Uncomfortable. The listings are unclaimed and not affiliated with Let's Make A Podcast, so use them for research, then pitch through the marketplace to reach hosts who are actively looking for guests.

Do mental health podcast guests get paid?

Usually not. Most guests come on for the audience, authority, and links back to their work rather than a fee, though some larger shows and sponsored placements are exceptions. Our guide on whether podcast guests get paid covers how to think about it.
