How it works

One profile. Better bookings on both sides of the mic.

1

Tell us who you book

Topics, audience, format, and your appearance fee. Your show profile does the filtering before a pitch ever reaches you.

2

Review ranked matches

Every guest arrives with a match score, talking points, sample clips, and audience reach. Invite the ones worth your airtime.

3

Book, record, get paid

Guests pay your fee to confirm. Funds are held until the session happens — you keep 85% of every appearance.

The match score

Matching that actually understands podcasts

A 50k-download business show doesn't need a celebrity — it needs an operator who can talk fundraising for 45 minutes. We score every pairing across five dimensions so both sides stop wasting time.

  • Topic overlap what they speak on vs. what you book
  • Audience fit reach and downloads in the same league
  • Budget alignment appearance fee vs. stated budget
  • Format & language video, panels, in-person, and tongue
  • Logistics lead time and availability that line up

Word on the airwaves

Loved on both sides of the mic

I replaced two hours of cold outreach a week with twenty minutes of reviewing ranked pitches. Booked my best three episodes of the year here.

Host, The Founder Frequency

Four shows in my niche in the first month — all with real audiences I could verify up front. My book launch owes this platform a drink.

Charging for appearances felt weird until the quality of pitches tripled. Serious guests prepare. My listeners can tell the difference.
