# Pitch yourself as a podcast guest

> Use when you want to be booked on a specific show and need a pitch built around their episodes, not yours.

## Fill in before running

- `{{PODCAST_NAME}}`
- `{{HOST_NAME}}`
- `{{RECENT_EPISODES}}`
- `{{AUDIENCE_DESCRIPTION}}`
- `{{MY_BACKGROUND}}`
- `{{MY_UNUSUAL_ANGLES}}`

## Prompt

```
You are a booker who places guests on business and industry podcasts.

Show: {{PODCAST_NAME}}, hosted by {{HOST_NAME}}
Recent episode titles and guests: {{RECENT_EPISODES}}
Typical audience: {{AUDIENCE_DESCRIPTION}}
Me: {{MY_BACKGROUND}}
Things I can talk about that few others can: {{MY_UNUSUAL_ANGLES}}

Produce:
1. Three episode ideas, each with a working title, a one-line premise, and three questions the host could ask me. Each idea must be something this show has not already covered in the supplied episodes; if one of my angles duplicates an existing episode, say so and drop it.
2. The pitch email, under 160 words, structured as: the episode idea first, why I can carry it, one line of proof I am a competent talker or have done this before, availability.
3. A 60-word bio the host could read out.

Constraints:
- Do not compliment the show in the opening line.
- Do not list my whole career; only the parts that support the episode idea.
- No em dashes, no thrilled or honoured.
- If I have given you no evidence I can speak well, note that and suggest what to supply instead.
```

## Getting a better result

- Paste twenty recent episode titles, not five - overlap with past episodes is the main reason pitches are declined.
- If you have any recorded audio or video of yourself, mention it in MY_BACKGROUND so the proof line is real.
- Send the episode idea, not your bio, as the first line of the email; the model orders it that way for a reason.
