If you’re asking me to schedule your boss, client, author, or executive on my podcast, please don’t send me through a maze of forms, portals, and intake systems.

Keep it simple.

A professional email with:

Who they are

Why they’re a fit for the show

Their topic/expertise

A short bio

Relevant links

… is usually enough to start a real conversation.

Podcast hosts are human beings, not administrative departments. The more complicated the process becomes, the easier it is to move on to the next guest request sitting in the inbox.

Simple communication still works best.
