We have two different introduction styles – Managed and Self Service.  Managed works with podcasters who are either already working with us or who we are able to contact and establish a direct connection with. In this case, once a possible match is identified, the podcaster is contacted and we let them know why you would be a good guest for them. It all remains anonymous at this point so there is no awkwardness if you happen to connect at a later point or already know one another! If they are interested, we then contact you to tell you a little about the podcast and see if you are interested. Once you’ve both agreed, the introduction is made and it’s over to you and the podcaster to take the next steps. We recommend having a call to ensure you’re a good fit. Some podcasters do this automatically while others just go straight to a booking. We do recommend listening to at least one of their episodes and we send you links and information about the podcast once you’re introduced. Self Service is a little different. The research to find the podcast is the same but it means we haven’t been able to directly contact the podcaster. This is generally because they have a process for applying to be on their podcast that doesn’t provide for a direct introduction or allow for a guest to be nominated. In this case, as we don’t want to spam them, we tell you about the podcast and, if you’re interested, provide links to the their request form so that you can provide them with all the relevant information. If it helps, we can complete the request form together.
