Podcast Guest
A podcast guest is an external expert or personality invited to appear on a podcast episode. Guests contribute their expertise, perspective, or story to the show's content in exchange for audience exposure.
How it works
Podcast guests are typically booked through inbound applications, cold pitching, or referrals from existing guests. The booking process involves a pitch, a screening conversation or form, scheduling, a pre-interview brief, the recording, and post-production. The process takes 2 to 12 weeks from pitch to publication for most shows.
Example
A fintech founder appearing on a top financial podcast as a guest shares their company's growth story and perspective on payment infrastructure. The episode exposes them to an audience of finance professionals who may become customers, investors, or referral sources.
