Unsolicited podcast pitches are nothing new, but the flood of generic offers can overwhelm even seasoned podcasters and business owners. We dig into a real-world example of a copy-paste pitch received by Mike Wilkerson and share actionable advice for how to spot a bad podcast pitch before you waste your time. Our breakdown exposes the lack of research and honesty common in these messages and explains how record keeping can empower you and your brand.

If you've received emails promising a buyer for your podcast network, it’s time to get strategic.

  • Generic, copy-paste podcast pitches are frequent and rarely credible.
  • Real research and detail are necessary for a podcast business offer to be believable.
  • Be honest... please!
