Podcast guesting still works to position your authority, build recognition around your expertise, and attract new leads. But the way most people secure podcast interviews is shifting…and much of what used to work no longer does. Case in point, many of the established show hosts I know do not accept pitches from people they don't know. Even with a solid topic and a polished media kit, if you don't have an "in" you probably aren't getting booked on popular shows. In Episode 493 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I walk through what I heard from the 20+ podcast hosts during my Visibility Velocity event that would cause them to book a guest on their show. I'm highlighting what podcast hosts Katherine Thompson, Samantha Riley, Lori Young, Jennifer Urezzio, and Darla LeDoux revealed about what makes a guest stand out and why authentic conversation, expertise, and audience resonance matter more than scripted pitches.
