How Guest Finder works

1

Describe your expertise

In plain English — AI turns it into the right search.

2

We rank matching shows

By audience size, recent activity, and topical fit.

3

AI drafts your pitch

A personal email referencing the specific podcast.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Guest Finder work?
Tell the AI your expertise — e.g. "climate finance" or "early-stage SaaS founders" — and it matches you with active podcasts where your topic fits. Results are scored by audience size, posting cadence, and topical fit. Every match includes a one-click AI-generated pitch email referencing the actual show.
Is this free to use?
Yes. Searching and previewing matches is free. Generating unlimited personalized pitch emails is included with a free CastFox account.
How are results ranked?
A combined "Pitch Score" weights three things: the show's popularity/chart rank, how recently it published (activity signal), and topical relevance to your expertise. Dormant shows are deprioritized — you only see podcasts actively accepting episodes.
Does the AI draft pitch emails?
Yes. Every podcast has a "Draft pitch" button. The AI reads the show's description and categories, then writes a warm, specific 120-160 word email proposing concrete episode angles, ready for you to personalize and send.
Can I narrow by country or category?
Yes. Filter by 100+ countries, 20+ categories, language, and activity window (shows updated in the last 30/60/90 days). You can also set a minimum episode count to exclude brand-new podcasts.
Where do I find the host's contact info?
Click "Open show" on any card to view the full podcast profile, including the Apple Podcasts link and — when available — the host's website and contact channels.
How is this different from the CastFox Guesting service?
Guest Finder is the self-serve AI tool. CastFox Guesting is the managed service where our team uses these same data signals to research, pitch, follow up, schedule, and prep you for podcast appearances. Use Guest Finder to research yourself, or hand the entire workflow to the team for a flat monthly fee.
