FAQ

Podcast Database FAQs

How big is the database?

Big enough to cover any niche your clients need, without padding. We index podcasts that meet our quality bar: real shows with real episodes and reachable contacts, and we keep dead feeds and long-inactive shows easy to filter out. Filter to active shows that have guests and a contact email to see only the ones you can realistically pitch.

How fresh is Podseeker's data?

Every show's feed and episodes are checked daily, so active shows and recent episodes stay current. Contacts, recent guests, and booking intelligence are refreshed regularly, and more often for the shows our customers look at most. How Podseeker checks its data →

Does Podseeker include AI-generated podcasts?

No. AI-generated podcasts have no human host to book, so Podseeker leaves them out of search and Recommendations. Shows you usually can't pitch, such as daily news, rebroadcast radio, or ambient audio, stay searchable so you can research them, but Recommendations skip them, and the Has guests filter narrows search to shows that book guests. If an AI-generated show slips through, tell us and we'll remove it.

What's different about Podseeker's contact data?

Most podcast databases surface a show's generic inbox (info@, hello@, or a contact form). Podseeker looks further and surfaces direct emails for hosts and producers, the people who decide who comes on the show.

How are contacts found and verified?

Podseeker researches contacts beyond generic RSS addresses, from show websites and other public sources. When a podcast is missing a usable email, contact enrichment researches it on demand, and the Podseeker plan includes 100 Concierge contact lookups a month by our data team. Emails marked verified have passed deliverability checks; each record shows its own status. See how Podseeker finds podcast contacts →

Can I search for very niche topics?

Yes. Podseeker's topics are built for guest-booking intent, not generic content classification. The topic filter surfaces 200+ outreach topics, from Leadership and Entrepreneurship to Burnout, Nervous System, Caregiving, Cybersecurity, and Geopolitics, and narrower topics appear as you filter down. You can include or exclude topics and 110 podcast categories.

What filters can I use?

Active, has guests, and has email; recency (last episode from under a month to over a year ago); listener estimates (under 100 to over 1M per episode); YouTube subscribers and Instagram followers; show age (new to veteran); location (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore); audience gender skew; rating; publisher; booking difficulty (very low to very high); and topics and categories you can include or exclude.

What does booking difficulty mean?

Booking difficulty is our assessment of how selective a podcast is about guests, from very low (open to most pitches) to very high (only books established experts with significant credentials). It's how PR teams find mid-sized shows that are realistic to book for a client, instead of pitching only the biggest names. Filter by it in search, and see it on every podcast profile alongside the credentials a show expects and its recent guests.

What is booking intelligence?

Booking intelligence is what Podseeker tells you about a show's guest booking before you pitch: a booking overview of what the show covers and who it books, its booking difficulty from very low to very high, the credentials and achievements it typically expects from guests, and its recent guests and what they discussed. It helps you pitch shows your client can realistically land.

What is Client Fit?

Client Fit is how well a client fits a specific podcast, compared with the show's usual guests, from very low to very high, with a one-sentence reason. You see it on every recommendation and AI-drafted pitch, and you can check it for any client on a podcast profile. Pitches to very high-fit podcasts booked at 6.2%, compared with 3.3% across all pitches, in our measured outreach data. These are observed results, not guarantees. Methodology →

What tool recommends podcasts for a specific client?

Podseeker Recommendations. Create a client profile with their expertise, audience, and speaking topics, and Podseeker recommends podcasts ranked by Client Fit. Recommendations surface very high-fit podcasts, and pitches to very high-fit podcasts booked at 6.2%. Podcasts you've already pitched are removed, so the list stays fresh. The Podseeker plan includes up to 200 recommendations a month. See how client recommendations work →

How do I find active podcasts that accept guests?

Filter by Active, Has guest, and recency, then add the topics your client can speak on and exclude the ones outside the brief. Check recent episodes and any guest-submission instructions on the podcast profile before pitching: having guests does not guarantee an open slot.

How do I decide whether a podcast fits my client?

Start with the client's expertise and the audience they want to reach. Use Client Fit to prioritize shows, then review recent conversations, guest backgrounds, listener estimates, booking difficulty, and a specific interview angle. Listener estimates help compare opportunities; relevance and a credible contribution matter alongside reach. For a checklist, see how to research a podcast before pitching →

How can a PR team manage outreach for several clients?

Keep a profile for each client and run a campaign for each one. Shared media lists, notes, pitch history, and team activity let teammates check previous outreach before contacting a show, and campaigns skip podcasts you've already pitched. The same show can still suit different clients. See podcast outreach for multiple clients →

Should I use podcast booking software or hire an agency?

Podseeker suits teams that want to choose the shows, review the pitches, and manage host relationships themselves, for $99 a month. A done-for-you agency suits clients who want someone else to do that work, usually at a much higher monthly fee. Neither route guarantees bookings. See what a podcast booking agency costs →

What's included in the CSV export?

Exports include podcast name, host names, host and producer emails, listener estimates, location, topics, booking difficulty, RSS feed, and more. The Podseeker plan includes 5,000 podcast exports a month; exports start when the paid subscription begins, not during the trial.

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

Both. Build a media list or start from a client's recommendations, generate personalized pitches, send them from your own Gmail or Outlook, and handle replies and follow-ups in one campaign for each client. Podseeker never sends a pitch on its own; you send or schedule it. See how pitching works →

How does the free trial work?

Podseeker offers a 3-day free trial. A credit card is required, and you won't be charged if you cancel before the trial ends. CSV exports become available when the paid subscription begins.
