Free tool · For guests
Podcast Pitch Generator
Fill in a few fields and get a personalized cold pitch, subject line included, built on the exact structure hosts say yes to. Free, no sign-up, nothing stored.
One line that proves you actually listen. This opener is the difference between a reply and the trash.
The single most relevant credential for this audience, not your whole résumé.
Each phrased as a takeaway the listener walks away with, not a topic you’d “discuss.”
Subject
Guest idea for [Show Name]: a specific angle
Hi [the host's first name], [One line that proves you actually listen. Reference a specific episode or moment from [Show Name].] It's exactly the kind of conversation I'd love to add to. I'm [your name], [one-line credibility marker]. For your listeners, I could bring a few things they can use right away: • [Angle 1, framed as a listener takeaway] • [Angle 2, framed as a listener takeaway] Happy to send over my one-sheet with topics and a short background. Happy to work around your schedule. Would any of these be a fit for the show? Thanks, [Your name]

Score this draft before you send it
Nothing is sent and nothing leaves your browser: this runs entirely on your device. Your own half (name, credibility line, link, angles) stays in this tab so the next show starts filled in. Copy the email, or download a PDF draft for review before sending.

Where the pitch actually lands
We read the public RSS feed of 338 podcasts in our directory and looked for the best route into each one. The answer is why this tool writes an email and not a form submission.
- 77%261 shows
publish an address in the feed
Apple requires a listed show to publish an owner contact, so most of the directory is reachable by email without a gatekeeper. That is what this generator writes.
- 12%42 shows
point at their own site
A contact page, or just the show's homepage. Paste the pitch into their form and keep the subject line as your first sentence.
- 9%31 shows
publish no route at all
No address, no usable site, no contact page. These are the shows worth reaching through a mutual guest or a social DM instead.
- 1%4 shows
run a guest submission form
Rare enough to be worth saying plainly. When a show does run one, use it: it is the process the host chose, and it lands where they actually look.
Reachable is not the same as open. An address in a feed is a field Apple requires, not an invitation, and only 31% of the same shows publish anything about guests at all. Getting the address is the easy half. Use the free finder to start from shows that say they book guests, then write to those.
Based on 360 shows in the directory, 338 with a feed we could read. Feeds last read 2026-08-16.
Frequently asked questions
Where can a podcast guest send a pitch?+
Of 338 readable feeds, 261 (77%) published an address, 42 (12%) pointed only to a site or contact page, 31 (9%) exposed no route we could find, and 4 (1%) used a guest form when we read them on 2026-08-16. Reachable does not mean open to pitches.
How many podcasts show that they book outside guests?+
106 of the 338 readable feeds (31%) published checkable evidence of booking an outside guest when we read them on 2026-08-16. Use that evidence to personalize the draft, but do not turn a missing signal into a claim that the show refuses guests.
How do I write a pitch to be a podcast guest?+
Open with a personalized line that proves you know the show, give one sentence on who you are with your most relevant credibility marker, offer two or three concrete episode angles framed as listener takeaways, and close by linking your one-sheet and making it a single reply to say yes. This generator assembles exactly that structure from what you type: keep the final email under 150 words and rewrite the opener for every show.
Is this podcast pitch generator free?+
Yes, completely free with no sign-up. It runs entirely in your browser, nothing you type is sent to a server or stored anywhere. Fill in the fields, copy your pitch, and personalize it before you send.
What makes a podcast pitch get a reply?+
Specificity and brevity. Hosts skim pitches on their phones, so a short email with a genuine, show-specific opener and a few concrete listener takeaways beats a long résumé every time. Reference a real episode, lead with what the audience gets, and give the host something to evaluate (a one-sheet or clip).
How long should a podcast guest pitch be?+
Under about 150 words. A tight pitch with one personalized hook and two or three sharp angles outperforms a long email full of credentials. Trim anything the host doesn't need to say yes.
Is there a faster way than cold pitching?+
Yes. Instead of emailing shows one at a time, make yourself discoverable where hosts already look for guests. On Let's Make A Podcast you create a guest one-sheet once and hosts find, filter, and invite you directly, so many bookings start with the host reaching out.
