What Makes This Database Different

A database built for pitching, not browsing.

PR professionals don't search for podcasts by iTunes category. You search for podcasts about resilience, book promotion, CEO interviews, nervous system, or bootstrapping. None of those exist as categories in any podcast directory.

Podseeker has 200+ topics curated specifically for how PR pros search when placing clients. Every topic is mapped to real guest-booking intent, not generic content classification. Combined with verified contacts, booking intelligence, and podcast receptiveness data, the database is built to get you from search to pitch as fast as possible.

HOW IT WORKS

How the Podseeker Podcast Database Works

—————
Contacts That Actually Work

Verified contacts. Not scraped and forgotten.

Podseeker verifies contacts through multiple layers: continuous automated website crawling, third-party data sources for triangulation, and email verification through a trusted verification platform.

The result: direct emails for hosts and producers that actually reach someone. Not generic inboxes from three years ago.

Every podcast profile includes host names and bios so you know who you're reaching out to. When you request a contact lookup, our data team researches it manually and updates the record. You always see the verified contact before you pitch.
—————
Know Before You Pitch

Booking intelligence on every podcast.

Before you spend a pitch, you should know:

- How selective is this show?
- What credentials do they expect from guests?
- Who have they booked recently?
- What topics are they covering right now?
- Which of your clients is the best fit?
- Is this show actively responsive to pitches right now?

Podseeker surfaces this on every podcast profile so you can qualify a show in seconds, not hours.

Client Fit scores rank each of your clients against the podcast. Excellent Fit, Good Fit, Weak Fit. You see the match quality before you write a single word.

Podcast receptiveness, built from real outreach data across the platform, shows you which shows are actually responding to pitches. Not just who they've booked before, but whether they're actively open to new guests right now.
—————
Search That Works Like You Think

Search by how you actually pitch.

Other databases use iTunes categories: Business, Health, Education. Those are too broad to be useful for guest booking.

Podseeker has 200+ topics curated for outreach intent. Search for "resilience" and find 12,927 podcasts. Search for "book promotion" or "CEO interviews" or "nervous system" or "burnout." These are the terms PR pros use when placing clients, and they work as search filters in Podseeker.

Then narrow by what matters for outreach:
- Has guests / has email / active
- Audience size and location
- Booking difficulty (easy to very high)
- Gender skew and demographics
- YouTube and Instagram following
- Episode recency

Your first search will show you podcasts you didn't know existed. The topics and filters together get you from "I need podcasts about X" to a qualified shortlist in minutes.
—————
Similar Podcasts

One good podcast leads to ten more.

Found a show that's a perfect fit? The Similar Podcasts section surfaces other shows that cover the same topics and attract a similar audience.

This is how campaigns grow. You don't run out of podcasts. You find new ones from the ones that already worked.
—————
Let the Database Come to You

Stop searching. Start with a list.

Available on Grow plans and above.

Every client profile in Podseeker surfaces recommended podcasts matched to their expertise. Each recommendation includes a fit score and a short explanation of why it's a match.

Podcasts you've already pitched are automatically removed, so the list is always fresh. Open a client profile, see high-fit targets, add them to a media list, and start pitching.

You still have the full database when you need it. But for most campaigns, the matches are already waiting.
—————
Export Your Research

Take your data with you.

Build a media list, then export it as a CSV with everything you need: podcast name, host name(s), verified contact emails, audience size, location, topics, booking difficulty, and RSS feed.

Use exports for client reporting, offline workflows, or external outreach. Download links are valid for 7 days. Your monthly export quota is shown before each export so there are no surprises.

Available on Grow and Scale plans.

Built for Outreach, Not Just Browsing

A database is only useful if you can act on it.

Most podcast databases stop at discovery. You find shows, export a CSV, and go figure out the rest.

Podseeker connects the database directly to your pitching workflow. Build media lists. Pitch from your own email. Track every conversation. Follow up until you get a clear answer.

When pitches are well-targeted, around 70% of host responses are positive. The database is how you get the targeting right. The pitch workflow is how you follow through.

Podcast Database FAQs

How many podcasts are in the database?

Podseeker indexes millions of podcasts, but the number isn't what matters. Our search experience prioritizes active, outreach-ready shows with verified contacts and booking intelligence. You can browse the full index or use 200+ outreach topics and filters to find the podcasts that matter for your campaigns.

How accurate is the contact data?

We verify contacts through multiple layers: continuous automated website crawling, third-party data sources for triangulation, and email verification through a trusted verification platform. When you request a contact lookup, our data team researches it manually. No database is perfect, but we invest heavily in keeping contacts current and usable.

Can I search for very niche topics?

Yes. Podseeker has 200+ topics curated for guest-booking intent, far beyond generic iTunes categories. Users successfully find podcasts for niches like nervous system (1,700+ shows), burnout (3,800+ shows), book promotion, CEO interviews, masculinity, geopolitics, and more. Search the way you actually think about placing clients.

What does "booking difficulty" mean?

Booking difficulty is our assessment of how selective a podcast is about guests. It ranges from easy (open to most pitches) to very high (only books established experts with significant credentials). This helps you prioritize realistically.

What is Client Fit?

When you open a podcast profile, Podseeker scores how well each of your clients matches that show. Excellent Fit, Good Fit, Weak Fit, or Poor Fit. It helps you decide which client to pitch before you write anything.

What are Recommended Podcasts?

Available on Grow plans and above. Each client profile surfaces recommended podcasts matched to their expertise. The list refreshes weekly and only shows podcasts you haven't pitched yet, so it's always fresh.

What's included in the CSV export?

Exports include podcast name, host name(s), verified contact emails, audience size, location, topics, booking difficulty, RSS feed, and more. Available on Grow and Scale plans.

Is this just a database, or can I pitch from it?

Both. Podseeker connects the database directly to a full pitching workflow. Build media lists from search, create personalized pitches, send from your own email, and track every conversation. Most users do everything inside Podseeker without switching tools.
