Preparation and promotion matters Quotables“It’s ultra-important to consume the podcast before pitching to understand its focus.” — @JasonMudd9 “When you send a pitch, provide some context about who your expert is. A link to their LinkedIn profile would be great. If they have a common name like John Smith, maybe include a photo of what they look like so when we’re doing our due diligence, we can easily find them.” — @JasonMudd9 “You’d be better off spending time crafting one great pitch than spending a little time on hundreds of pitches and getting a bunch of no’s. Double down on the shows that have the right audience, the right topic, and the right fit.” — @JasonMudd9 “Come up with a really good topic — something unique that your guest has a provocative, contrarian, or unique point of view on. I’m looking for something that really pops and resonates with our audience.” — @JasonMudd9 “It might be easy to say it’s easier to pitch a podcast than it is a major news outlet, but you’ve got to keep in mind there are big-time podcasts out there that are just as in demand as any mainstream, tier-one media outlet.” — @JasonMudd9 If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to share it with a professional colleague or friend.
