How does PitchCentric decide which podcasts are about Professional Development?
We don't rely on Apple Podcasts categories. those are too coarse. Instead, we generate a detailed vocabulary description of Professional Development, embed it as a high-dimensional semantic vector, then compare to similarly-embedded vectors for every podcast in our catalog. The shows that score highest on cosine similarity are the ones whose actual episode content most aligns with Professional Development.
What does a "Strong match" actually mean?
A Strong match (cosine similarity ≥ 0.60) means the podcast's episode topics overlap substantially with the Professional Development vocabulary. Hosts on these shows discuss Professional Development topics every few episodes; a guest pitch with a specific Professional Development angle should fit naturally. Moderate (0.45–0.60) is adjacent; light (0.30–0.45) is crossover.
