Podcasts
The short answer
Podcasts in the Artispreneur directory are shows that interview and feature independent artists. Pitch yourself as a guest with a topic, not a discography: the lesson you learned, the system you built, the story behind the new record. Producers book conversations their listeners will finish, so make the conversation easy to imagine.
What podcasts do, and what they look for
Podcast hosts and producers book guests who can hold a conversation their audience cares about. For artists, a podcast interview is long form proof of personality: it feeds booking, press, and fan loyalty in a way a single song post cannot. Music podcasts range from interview shows to review and discovery formats, and each wants a slightly different pitch.
Browse 711 podcasts in the directoryHow to pitch podcasts
- Listen to at least one full episode and reference a specific moment in your pitch.
- Propose a topic: a lesson, a turning point, or a process you can teach, tied to your release.
- Offer flexible recording times, a decent microphone, and links to past interviews if you have them.
- After recording, share the episode to your audience and send the host your thanks and assets promptly.
Mistakes that end the conversation
- Pitching 'I have a new album' with no topic or angle for the conversation.
- Targeting shows that never book guests or never cover your genre.
- Recording on a phone in a loud room, which makes producers reluctant to book you again.

What makes a good podcast pitch from an artist?
A named episode you listened to, a specific conversation topic, and a tie to something timely like a release or tour. Producers book topics, not catalogs.
Do I need a big following to get booked on podcasts?
No. Smaller and mid sized shows book interesting guests with a clear topic. A sharp angle and a good recording setup beat raw follower counts at this level.
