This is Fuzz Martin's story...

Jeff Townsend and Greg from Indie Drop-In Network are co-hosting Podcasting Power Hour. They have a panel of experienced podcasters and other experts who will answer questions from the audience. This week, they will talk to Fuzz Martin about pitching shows to journalists and other content creators. Fuzz starts by saying that the most important thing to know before pitching anyone is what the journalist you're pitching writes about or talks about, and to make sure that your pitch is on target. He also says that it's important to know your audience and to pitch to the people who write to your audience or that your audience interacts with on a daily basis.
