How To Get Booked On Podcasts with Alex Sanfilippo

Send us Fan Mail We’re joined again by Alex Sanfilippo from PodMatch to talk about one of our favorite podcast growth strategies: getting booked as a guest on other podcasts! We talk about why podcast guesting is valuable beyond promotion, including how it helps you sharpen your message, become a better communicator, and build real relationships with other podcasters. We'll also give tips on how to build a podcast guest profile that actually helps hosts say yes. We talk about why your guest profile should not read like a résumé, what hosts are really looking for, how to suggest episode ideas, what links and assets to include, and how to make your pitch feel authentic. We also answer listener questions about shared episodes across multiple feeds, and whether Apple Podcasts Video is worth trying if you are already making video for YouTube.

The Hidden Value Of A Small Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Small podcasts are often treated like smaller versions of big podcasts, but a niche audience is not just a tiny audience. It can be a more focused, more trusting, and more valuable audience. Inspired by an article in Podnews, we talk about why download numbers do not tell the full story of a podcast’s value.

Podcast Repurposing Ideas That Aren’t Blogs Or Social Posts

Send us Fan Mail Most podcast repurposing advice sounds the same: turn your episode into clips, blog posts, newsletters, and social captions. That can be useful, but it is not the only way to get more value from your podcast. In this episode, we look at creative ways podcasters are turning their existing content into something new: conversation cards, games, kid-friendly feeds, real-world meetups, field guides, downloadable resources, and more! We also talk about how to use AI to find themes hiding in your archive, why great repurposing starts with what your audience already loves doing, and how to create something additive instead of just changing the format. Plus, we share early stats from the Buzzsprout video launch!

Put Your Video Podcast On Apple!

Send us Fan Mail We did something new…you can watch this episode as a video on Apple Podcasts! Make sure you're on the latest version (26.4 or higher). But the bigger story is that any independent podcaster can now publish video directly to Apple Podcasts through Buzzsprout! In this episode, we break down why this isn’t just “another place to upload video,” and how it’s fundamentally different from platforms like YouTube. We talk through the opt-in nature of podcasting, why that matters for creators who are tired of chasing algorithms, and where video actually fits into a sustainable podcast workflow. We also walk through how to publish video through Buzzsprout, what happens with your stats, and why this might be one of the easiest windows to get featured on Apple Podcasts. And if you try it, let us know! Contact Buzzcast Send us Fan MailTweet us at @buzzcastpodcast, @albanbrooke, @kfinn, and @JordanPodsThanks for listening and Keep Podcasting!

How To Stand Out In A Crowded Podcast Niche

Send us Fan Mail We break down why “crowded” is usually a clarity problem, not a competition problem, then map the difference between a podcast category and a real niche. We also study five popular business story shows to prove how audience, format, tone, and payoff make similar topics feel completely different! Read Jordan's mention in the WSJ: Why People Who Listen To Podcasts Are Suddenly Feeling Left Out Topics discussed: • Defining category versus niche through audience, format, tone, and promise • Using promise and payoff to stop sounding generic • Reframing "oversaturation" as "demand" and "popularity" • What makes shows fade into the background, from unclear positioning to recycled guest circuits • Case study breakdowns of business story podcasts and how each one niches down • Practical steps to write down and refine your niche over time Contact Buzzcast Send us Fan MailTweet us at @buzzcastpodcast, @albanbrooke, @kfinn, and @JordanPodsThanks for listening and Keep Podcasting!

Publish Podcast Episodes More Often With Less Stress

Send us Fan Mail Publishing more often can help your podcast stay top of mind, get more downloads, and keep your audience engaged. But if you increase your cadence the wrong way, it can also make podcasting feel heavier, more rushed, and a lot less fun. In this episode, we answer a listener question from Rich (Two Guys on a Plane) about moving from biweekly to weekly episodes and break down what has actually worked for us. We talk about the benefits of adding shorter episodes, why quick wins can sometimes perform just as well as longer releases, and how publishing more often has helped us stay in practice without doubling the workload. We also get into the real risks of pushing your schedule too hard, including burnout, lower-quality episodes, missed deadlines, and losing the energy that makes a podcast worth doing in the first place. Listen for different ways to make a higher publishing frequency sustainable, including lighter episode formats, Q&A episodes, bonus conversations, two-part episodes, and experimenting without feeling locked into a forever commitment.

We're breaking down the biggest ways people discover new shows today, from podcast apps and search to word of mouth, social sharing, and AI-driven discovery. We also talk about why being easy to recommend matters more than ever, how podcast titles and transcripts can improve discoverability, and why trying to be everywhere online is usually the fastest path to burnout. In this episode: What Alban learned from editing a full episode himself in CapCutWhy podcast apps are still one of the biggest discovery channelsHow search inside podcast apps helps listeners find specific episodesWhy word of mouth now includes social shares, guesting, and promo swapsWhat makes a podcast easy for listeners to recommendHow transcripts can help with search and AI-powered podcast discoveryWhy social media works better when you focus on one or two platformsListener reactions to new voicemail, Fan Mail, and chapter marker toolsA surprisingly practical answer to “what happens to my podcast when I die?”Contact Buzzcast Send us Fan MailTweet us at @buzzcastpodcast, @albanbrooke, @kfinn, and @JordanPodsThanks for listening and Keep Podcasting!

I recently launched a podcast with a friend (Dietetics After Dark) and this show has been so helpful in teaching me the ins-and-outs of the podcasting world. Great guests and the host asks really well thought-out/engaging questions. Keep em coming!!

I was wondering why this small town popped up as a recent big demographic for our pod. We literally get 60 plus downloads every episode from here. Plus since we touch on conspiracies we can add this to topics to discuss. I enjoyed listening to you guys. Keep it up.
Great Support of Podcaster Community
