Find podcasts to pitch

106 of the 338 readable feeds (31%) published checkable evidence of booking an outside guest when we read them on 2026-08-16. That evidence is a named guest in a recent episode title or an interview-led description. Its absence is not a refusal, only something the public feed does not prove.

78 of the 338 readable feeds (23%) had gone roughly six months without a new episode when we read them on 2026-08-16. The finder can hide those shows, but the date is a snapshot rather than a claim that any show ended permanently.

Startups leads on published guest evidence: 58% of the 19 feeds we read in it publish proof of booking an outside guest, against 31% across the whole directory. That is not automatically where to start, because Entrepreneurship has the most feeds gone quiet (46%). Taking both together, Startups has the widest gap between shows that demonstrably book guests and shows that stopped publishing.

Start from the topic you can genuinely speak to, not from the biggest shows you can name. Search this directory for that topic, filter to your niche, and read a few recent episodes of any show that looks close. A show is worth pitching when its audience would obviously benefit from what you know and it regularly interviews outside guests. Shortlist ten of those before you write a single email.

Every listing is a real show pulled from public Apple Podcasts directory data (Apple Podcasts (iTunes Search API), public directory data). Not all of them are still running. We read their feeds, and any show that had gone six months or more without an episode when we last read it carries a note saying so on its card, sorts last, and can be hidden with one checkbox. These shows are not members of Let's Make A Podcast and have not told us they are looking for guests. They are here so you can research them and pitch them directly, the same way you would find them by browsing Apple Podcasts, only sorted and searchable by niche.

It means the show has a back catalogue you can reference in a pitch, which is genuinely useful. It does not mean the show takes guests, that its audience is the right one for you, or even that it is still running: a long back catalogue is the one thing a show that stopped publishing is guaranteed to have. That is why the size sort puts shows we measured as quiet at the end of the list rather than the top. It is a starting filter, not a ranking of quality. Always listen to an episode before you pitch.

Yes, completely free with no sign-up. The whole directory loads into your browser and the search runs there, so nothing you type is sent to a server or stored anywhere.

A short, specific email. Open with one line that proves you actually listened to that show, give a single relevant credibility marker, offer two or three concrete episode angles framed as listener takeaways, and close with one easy reply. The free pitch generator assembles exactly that structure, and each show's how-to-get-booked page covers what hosts in that niche respond to.

Yes. Cold pitching means you do the finding every time. If you build a guest profile on Let's Make A Podcast instead, hosts searching your niche can find and invite you directly. Most guests do both: pitch the shows they really want, and stay discoverable for the ones they have not heard of yet.
