HOW IT WORKS
From a topic to a shortlist ready to pitch.
1. Search by topic or niche keyword
Start with the subject your client can speak on. Choose topics such as Leadership or Women's Health, or search for a niche keyword such as “first-time manager” or “menopause at work.”
2. Narrow the results
Filter by the podcast's location, estimated listeners per episode, guests, and release recency. Exclude topics and categories outside the brief so the results stay focused.
3. Save and pitch
Check recent episodes and past guests, and open similar podcasts to find more shows like the best matches. Save suitable shows to a media list and prepare outreach from the same workspace.
Prefer to start from a client?
Create a client profile and get Recommendations matched to their expertise. Search and Recommendations give your team two ways to build the same campaign shortlist.
OLD VS New
Bring discovery and pitch research into one workspace.
A podcast name is only the beginning. Your team still needs to establish whether the show covers the right subjects, interviews relevant guests, reaches a useful audience, and has someone you can pitch.
Manual
Start from broad categories, charts, and other people's lists.
Scroll past results that mention your keyword but belong to a different subject.
Find one good show, then start over to look for others like it.
Open shows one by one to work out whether the client fits.
Collect audience and social figures across separate sites.
Check publishing activity and guest format separately.
Copy research into a spreadsheet, then look for contact details.
With Podseeker
Start with a focused topic or niche keyword search.
Exclude topics and categories that are outside the brief.
Open similar podcasts from any podcast profile.
Use Client Fit explanations and Recommendations to prioritize your research.
Filter by location, estimated listeners, gender skew, YouTube subscribers, and Instagram followers.
Narrow to active shows, recent releases, and podcasts with guests.
Save a media list and review podcast profiles and available pitching contacts in the same workspace.
TOPIC SEARCH + ADVANCED FILTERS
Search for the audience and conversation your client needs.
Explore topics from Leadership and Artificial Intelligence to Women's Health, Books, and Science. Search by niche keyword when the brief is more specific, then combine filters to narrow the field.
Find an active interview show in the right market. Focus on a listener-size range. Explore podcasts with an established YouTube or Instagram audience. Your team sets the criteria and decides which results deserve a pitch.

Go deeper than a broad podcast category
Use topic filters to explore a client's field and neighboring subjects. For a leadership author, Leadership, Communication, Workplace, and Mentorship offer different research directions. Niche keyword searches such as “first-time manager” or “delegation” make the brief more specific.

Exclude categories & topics that don't belong
A keyword can appear across completely different shows. To match your client's brief, you can exclude whole categories like Religion or Sports.
For precision, combine parameters: search Health, then exclude Fitness and Nutrition to focus strictly on healthcare and medicine conversations.

Search by market with the Location filter
Filter by the podcast location, including the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, to focus on shows based directly in the specific markets your campaign targets.
Location describes where the podcast is produced and based, not necessarily where every individual listener lives.

Found a podcast that suits your client? Open its profile to see similar podcasts, each with its audience figure.
One strong match becomes a starting point for the next few, which helps when a niche has no obvious topic or keyword to search for.

OR START FROM YOUR CLIENT
Let your client's profile suggest where to look.
Two clients can speak about leadership and still belong on different podcasts. A first-time manager's coach brings a different conversation from a founder who has scaled a company.
Create a client profile and Podseeker recommends podcasts matched to that person's expertise, with an explanation of the potential fit. Recommendations only include shows that are active and have a record of interviewing guests. Use them alongside search to find opportunities your own searches may have missed.

Recommended Podcasts
Give the match a specific brief
Include the client's background, credentials, and speaking topics. “Helping new managers give difficult feedback” gives the campaign a more useful direction than “business expert.”
Recommended Podcasts
Read the reason behind the score
Use the Client Fit score and explanation to assess the match. Compare the suggested fit with the client's experience before putting the show on your pitch list.
Recommended Podcasts
Filter Recommendations by listeners and location
Use the Listeners filter to focus on the estimated listeners per episode that suit your campaign, and the Location filter to focus on shows based in markets such as the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. Review the filtered shows alongside their Client Fit explanations; listener estimates are directional, not exact publisher analytics.
Recommended Podcasts
Check the show's conversations
Review recent episodes and past guests alongside the recommendation. Find a subject your client can add to, and decide what would make the proposed interview useful to the show's listeners.
From Search to Outreach
Turn a good match into a relevant pitch.
Open the podcast profile, review the best available pitching contact, and prepare a personalized draft using the client's expertise and a relevant episode angle. Save the research and run outreach from the same workspace.
Podseeker researches direct host and producer emails where available, with contact enrichment and Concierge research to help fill gaps. Your team reviews the recipient and draft before sending or scheduling.

FAQ
Questions about podcast search
How do I search for podcasts on a specific topic?
Choose one or more topics, such as Leadership or Women's Health, or search for a niche keyword such as “first-time manager.” Then narrow the results with filters for location, listener estimates, guests, and release recency, and exclude topics or categories outside the brief.
Can I exclude topics or categories from a podcast search?
Yes. Exclude any topic or category, including broad ones such as Religion, Sports, or News, to remove whole areas that sit outside your client's brief. You can combine included and excluded topics in the same search.
Can I search for podcasts in a specific country?
Yes. The Location filter narrows results to podcasts based in markets such as the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Location describes where the podcast is based, not the location of every listener. Recommendations support the same Location filter.
How do I find podcasts similar to one I like?
Open the podcast's profile in Podseeker and review its similar podcasts. Each one links to its own profile, so you can check recent episodes, guests, and audience before adding it to a media list.
What's the difference between Recommendations and advanced search?
Advanced search lets you explore topics and niche keywords, then narrow results with filters and exclusions. Recommendations use your client profile to suggest podcasts and explain the potential fit, and can be filtered by listener estimates and location. Use search to pursue a specific brief and Recommendations to discover opportunities from the client's expertise.
Can I search without creating a client profile?
Yes. You can search directly by topic, keyword, or podcast name. Create a client profile when you want Recommendations matched to that client's expertise.
Can I filter podcasts by audience size and gender?
Yes. Advanced search supports estimated listeners per episode and available female, male, or neutral gender skew. Recommendations also support listener-estimate filtering. Listener figures are estimates, and gender skew is not an exact demographic breakdown.
Can I find podcasts with YouTube and Instagram audiences?
Yes. Filter by YouTube subscriber counts and Instagram follower counts. These describe the show's social audiences; they do not guarantee views, listeners, or promotion of a guest appearance.
Can I find active podcasts that interview guests?
Combine Active, Has guest, and release-recency filters, then review recent episodes to confirm that the format and subjects suit your client.
Does a high Client Fit score mean my client will get booked?
A high score indicates a potential match between the client and podcast. The host still decides whom to book. Review the explanation, current episodes, guest history, and submission guidance before pitching.
What happens after I find suitable podcasts?
Save them to a media list, review available pitching contacts, and prepare personalized outreach in Podseeker. Your team reviews drafts before sending or scheduling a campaign.
Build your client's next podcast shortlist.
Search by the topics your client can speak on. Narrow by market, audience, and guests. Choose shows you can pitch with a clear reason to belong.
