Ever wondered how to make your podcast pitches actually stand out? Or maybe you're kinda stuck on where that line is between sharing your story and, well, not coming off as a walking ad?
In this episode, I’m hanging out with podcast pros Angie Trueblood, Mai-kee Tsang, and Brittney Lynn, as we dive deep into the world of pitching yourself for podcasts. We’re talking everything—from handling rejections (yes, they happen!) and tweaking your approach to the magic of being authentic and building real connections.
In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:
- Why ditching PR lingo makes your pitch stand out.
- How to use rejections to refine your strategy.
- Tips on making it about the audience, not you.
- The importance of building real connections over transactional pitches.
- How to align your pitch with current events.
…And More!
