It shows hosts who you are and what value you will bring to the show.We created branded PDFs for our clients and will drop a link in the show notes to a CANVA template that you can use to create your own.In your PDF you’ll want to include your headshot, biography of approximately 200 words, approximately 3-5 topics you could talk about and 3-5 questions.

Avoid questions about you because this information will come out during the interview. Pull out questions that will make you stand out from others in your field.For example, one of our author clients includes: How do you successfully marry serious topics with humor in your writing? Another client includes:How did you consistently grow your company by at least 50% per year for five years? Once you have your media kit set up you’re ready to write your podcast pitch. Now you may be thinking you can dash off a letter which tells the host about your accomplishments and ask to be on their show, just changing who you’re addressing it to, Dear Tracey, Dear Frank and wing it off on email and wait for the Yes’s to come in.You’re not the only one to have thought this is all it takes but remember hosts receive a great many pitches a week so you need to do everything in your power to stand out.
