100 Mid-Sized Relationships Podcasts Actively Seeking Guest Voices

If you're pitching clients in the relationships space (couples therapists, dating coaches, relationship authors, marriage counselors, attachment researchers, communication experts) you don't need to chase the biggest shows.

Mid-sized podcasts (roughly 1K-25K listeners per episode) are often the sweet spot for PR outreach:

• More accessible — Hosts are actively looking for great guests
• More likely to book — Less competition, faster response times
• More engaged audiences — Listeners are passionate, not passive

This list features 100 relationships podcasts that regularly interview guests on topics like communication, attachment styles, dating, marriage, divorce recovery, intimacy, boundaries, and building healthy connections.

What We Mean by "Relationships"

This isn't a standard podcast category you'll find on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

"Relationships" is a Podseeker category — one we created based on how PR professionals actually target shows for guest placements.

Apple Podcasts scatters relationship content across "Society & Culture," "Health & Fitness," and "Education." A PR pro pitching an attachment theory researcher needs different shows than someone pitching a dating app founder or a divorce mediator. All three deal with relationships, but the audiences, editorial angles, and guest credibility signals are different.

We looked at the types of clients being pitched (licensed marriage and family therapists, couples counselors, dating coaches, relationship authors, attachment researchers, communication trainers, divorce recovery specialists, and intimacy experts) and grouped podcasts accordingly. The result is a category built around audience interest and client fit, not platform taxonomy.

Podseeker has over 29,000 podcasts tagged under Relationships, making it one of the largest lifestyle categories in our database. Related categories you might also explore include Parenting, Mental Health, Personal Growth, Coaching, and Spirituality.

You won't find this filter in generic podcast directories. It exists because we're focused specifically on podcast outreach for guest bookings, so our categorization reflects how PR pros actually work.

How to Use This List

Don't pitch all 100 at once.

This list is a starting point for discovery. The real workflow looks like this:

1. Filter for fit

Scan this list for shows that align with your client's expertise. Not every relationships podcast is right for every relationships expert. A Gottman-trained couples therapist and a men's dating coach and a co-parenting mediator all need different shows. Look for alignment between your client's specific approach and the show's audience demographics and editorial perspective.

2. Check recent episodes

Before pitching, confirm the show is still active and see what topics they've covered recently. A quick listen tells you more than any description. Relationships podcasts vary widely in tone, from clinical and evidence-based to casual and confessional. Matching your client's communication style to the show's vibe matters more here than in most niches.

3. Start with a focused batch

Pick 10-15 shows that feel like strong fits. Pitch those first. Track responses.

4. Refine your approach

If you're not getting replies, adjust. Maybe the pitch angle isn't landing. Maybe the client profile needs sharpening. Relationships podcast hosts tend to value clinical credentials (LMFT, PhD, LPC) and published research or books. But they also value personal story. The strongest pitches combine both: "Licensed marriage therapist and author of X, who went through her own divorce and rebuilt."

5. Expand when you have signal

Once you're seeing consistent responses, expand to more shows from the list. You'll pitch with more confidence because you know what's working.
