150: Podcast Pitching and Guesting with Angie Trueblood [Goals & Planning Series]

Do you have being a guest on podcasts as one of your goals for 2020?

It’s a fantastic way to reach new audiences, build relationships with podcast hosts, and hone your message.

But, there’s definitely a *right* way and a *wrong* way to pitch podcast hosts.

As a podcaster, I get email pitches every day.

And I delete 99% of them.

The few I’ve kept have been from my guest on this episode, Angie Trueblood.

Why are her pitches so effective? That’s what we talk about, along with how to be a great guest.

You’ll learn:

• The benefits of being a guest on podcasts
• How to find relevant shows
• How to be a great guest
• Strategies for lead generation when you’re a guest
• Do’s and Don'ts of pitching - this also applies to pitching for speaking engagements
• Tips for your first time being a guest

This episode is part of our series on Goals & Planning.

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.

A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
