Podcast Hosts & Guests & Publicists - Podcast Booking Malpractice

Podcast bookers are supposed to open doors for their clients. Too many of them are quietly slamming those doors shut — and their clients have no idea. By Denise Griffitts, Host of #YourPartnerInSuccessRadio·Part 1 of a continuing series Every morning, I open my inbox to the same scene: dozens of pitch emails, most of them unsolicited, most of them wrong. Wrong show. Wrong angle. Wrong tone. Sometimes wrong name at the top — as in, they've addressed me as someone else entirely (This happens a LOT!). I've watched this phenomenon grow from a minor nuisance into something that genuinely concerns me, not just as a host, but as someone who cares about the integrity of public discourse and the professionals who navigate it. This is the first installment in an ongoing examination of professional malpractice in #podcastbooking and media placement. Coming entries will cover: The mass-blast problem and why volume is not strategy; how generic pitches actively harm a guest’s positioning; the failure to research the show — and why hosts remember; what separates a real booking professional from someone with a Gmail account; and what clients should demand before hiring anyone to pitch on their behalf. If you’ve experienced any of this — as a host, a guest, or a publicist trying to do the work well — I’d like to hear from you.Please connect with me here on LinkedIn or email me directly at [email redacted].
