How to be a guest
Science Quickly is a science podcast hosted by Scientific American with 1942 episodes. If you would make a strong guest, here is exactly how to give yourself the best shot at getting booked — on Science Quickly or on other science shows like it.
Science Quickly is an independent show and isn’t affiliated with Let's Make A Podcast, so we can’t book you on it directly. The steps below are how guests actually land spots on shows like this — and Let's Make A Podcast’s free tools make each one faster.
Play two or three recent episodes of Science Quickly so you understand its format, length, and the kind of guest Scientific American tends to book. A pitch that clearly fits the show beats a generic one every time.
Check the show notes, the host's website, and the show's Apple Podcasts page for a guest or contact link. Many science shows list a booking form or an email address for pitches.
Hosts want a researcher or communicator who can make a complex finding clear and vivid. Open with one sentence on why you fit Science Quickly and the exact topic you would bring to an episode. See our pitch template.
Hosts book faster when your bio, topics, headshot, and links live in one place. Build a free one-sheet with Let's Make A Podcast that you can send in seconds. What a one-sheet needs.
Keep the pitch tight and personal — a few sentences, not an essay. If you do not hear back within a week, send one polite follow-up and then move on to the next show.
