Send a question for 'Ask Megan'

Hey, Podcasters!

A lot of podcasters assume getting booked as a guest is all about having a huge audience or impressive credentials.

But that's usually not what hosts care about.

Hosts want guests who have something clear to contribute and make the conversation interesting! 

This week on Buzzcast, we’re joined again by Alex Sanfilippo, founder of ​Podmatch, to talk about how to actually get booked on podcasts.

One of the biggest takeaways: your guest profile should not read like a résumé!

Instead, it should make a host immediately picture you on their podcast. 

We also talk through:

• How to suggest episode ideas naturally 
• What links and assets to include 
• Why authenticity matters more than sounding impressive
• How guesting helps you become a better communicator

And if you want more practical tips on pitching yourself as a guest, we also recently published a blog post on ​How to Get Booked on Podcasts in 2026​.

If you’ve been thinking about guesting on other podcasts, or improving the way you pitch yourself, this episode will help!
