What is Podcast Guesting?

Introducing Podcast Guesting

A New and Exciting Way to Leverage the Power of Podcasting without the Need to Start Your Own Podcast

With 5 million podcasts globally, all the world – to quote Shakespeare – is a stage.

Welcome to the emerging world of Podcast Guesting, where there are 5 million stages for you to connect with global audiences across time zones and without the need for travel.

Podcast Guesting is where you, as an expert speaker or featured guest, get invited to speak on someone else's podcast.

Whether your audience are Health tech investors or e-commerce entrepreneurs, there are ready-built stages out there for you where the host has done the hard work of building an audience around the conversations their community cares about.

Why Podcast Guesting?

We've been in the podcast game since 2018 but only recently has interest in podcast guesting surged. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, thought leaders are seeking out better ways to engage with their audiences in an authentic way. Secondly, it's getting harder to build an audience.

The price of your audience's attention is higher than ever. That's why it makes sense to leverage other people's audiences. You see, there are 5 million podcasts in the world today, many of which have spent time nurturing and growing their communities. It could take years to grow an audience hosting your own podcast or writing a blog, but with podcast guesting, it's plug and play.
