Crafting the Perfect Podcast Pitch | Ashley Graham Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

When reaching out to a podcast host to be the ideal guest on their show, your pitch is what makes the first impression, especially if you are connecting with a host for the first time. A media or podcast pitch is a short, to-the-point email or message that tells the podcast host why they should book you as a guest on their show, the value you bring to the conversation, and how you plan to impact their audience. Each pitch must be tailored uniquely to the show you are pitching. In this presentation, you will learn Ashley Graham's recommended format for the pitch to send to podcast hosts based on your signature message for the podcast interviews you land.
