Angie's "3 P's" for getting big-name guests on your show:
Pitching
- Prepare a one-sheet or pitch deck for your podcast
- Find a direct representative of the celebrity
- Have a clear and informative subject line
- Say why this guest is important to you
- Describe what your podcast is about
- Tell them why they would be a good fit for your podcast
- Say what qualifies you to speak on the subject
- Give the invitation & what you intend to discuss in the interview
- Attach one-sheet/pitch deck
- Follow-up
Prepping
Requesting assets in advance: the official bio, talking points, preferred promo photo, ask if there are any topics to avoid.
Previewing
Giving your guest the chance to review all of the assets before they go live.
- Final edited interview
- Promotional graphics
- Show notes with links
Where to find contact information:
- Search in Google: "for immediate release" + "celeb name" to find press releases with publicity contact info
- For podcast, take the RSS link & paste into word doc, then do a search command for "@" symbol. This will take you to the contact email for the podcast.
