Buckle up, buttercup - we're about to dive into the wild world of AI podcast pitching! The podcast game is massive and highly sector specific, which can work to our advantage as publicists.

That said, what makes a podcast worth pitching? Is it all about those sweet, sweet download numbers? The frequency of new episodes? Or maybe it's about finding an audience that won't immediately fall asleep when your exec starts talking about GPUs + LLMs? In our opinion, a combo of all 3.

Since we’re all pitching AI right now, here are three podcasts actively taking guests:

  • AI in Business podcast with Daniel Faggella. Each week, Daniel interviews AI subject matter experts - founders, established execs (IBM, Oracle), and VCs on different AI applications, which are driving real business value, and which are still experimental.

    • Pitch tip: Lead with ROI metrics. Daniel’s focused on practical AI adoption with actionable insights (e.g., “How did you cut costs by 40% using LLMs?”).

    • How often is he booking guests? Daniel is booked and busy, with episodes airing 2-3x a week as of late.
