Let's Make A Podcast

Let's Make A Podcast is a web marketplace for podcast hosts and prospective guests to find one another and arrange appearances. It suits adults who want to manage discovery and booking conversations themselves. Its free plan brings the main workflow together, but upcoming paid plans are not yet available.

Overview

The service gives guests and hosts a shared place to connect: guests present their expertise, while hosts describe their shows and find potential guests. Its value is in joining discovery, outreach, messaging and scheduling, rather than in taking over those tasks.

Guests can filter show listings by niche. The site says it checks whether a show is still publishing and records how its host prefers to receive pitches. Pitch drafts can open on a recent episode when a show’s feed includes one, but guests send them from their own inbox. That keeps outreach in the guest’s hands; it is less suited to someone seeking fully managed pitching.

Key features

Guest profiles and show discovery

A guest one-sheet brings together topics, biography, photo and past episodes, giving hosts a compact profile to review. Hosts can describe their shows and browse those one-sheets; guests can use niche filters to find relevant listings. The activity and pitching-preference checks are useful for targeting, though the service still depends on users choosing and pursuing their own opportunities.

Pitch tracking and booking

Guests can track pitches in a pipeline and receive an emailed follow-up draft if a pitch goes quiet. Hosts can invite and message guests, then schedule in the same thread. Together, these tools reduce the need to split a booking conversation across separate workflows, but the guest remains responsible for sending pitches and following up.

Free tools and privacy

The site also offers tools that need no account; it says typed content is not saved unless a one-sheet is published. The service collects account and profile information, marketplace activity, usage and device data, and cookies or local storage. It says it does not sell personal information and uses access controls to limit account and private-message access to the people involved. Its privacy policy names Google sign-in, Firebase, Vercel, Google Analytics and Resend among its operating services. Users must be at least 18, and the policy says the service does not process payments today.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed always. It includes a host or guest profile, show and guest browsing, pitching and invitations, in-app messaging, calendar-invite scheduling, and public one-sheet and show pages. That is a substantial starting point for adults who want to try the marketplace’s core booking workflow without a subscription.

Guest Pro is planned at $1,929 a month, billed planned, and is coming soon. Its proposed features are unlimited pitches, priority placement, one-sheet analytics, saved pitch templates and a featured guest badge. Those additions may suit a guest who needs higher-volume outreach, but the plan is not currently available.

AI Booking Concierge is planned at $4,979 a month, billed planned, and is also coming soon. It proposes 20–40 personalized pitches a month, AI show research, user approval of every pitch, and managed replies and scheduling, with cancellation anytime. This is the more hands-off option in concept, but prospective users cannot buy it yet. The free plan has no trial; it remains the practical choice for now.

Platforms

Let's Make A Podcast is available on the web. The service requires users to be at least 18.

Who it's for

It is a good fit for adult podcast guests who want a profile, targeted show discovery and a way to track outreach, as well as hosts who want to review guest profiles and coordinate invitations and scheduling. It is less appropriate for people who want pitches sent on their behalf today, or who need a mobile app.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Core booking workflow is free. The permanent Free plan includes profiles, discovery, messaging, pitching and calendar-invite scheduling.
• Both sides can coordinate in one marketplace. Hosts can browse guest one-sheets and manage messaging and scheduling, while guests can track pitches and follow-ups.
• Show discovery has useful targeting cues. Niche filters, publishing-status checks and stated pitching preferences help guests focus their outreach.

Cons

• Guests still send their own pitches. Drafts and follow-up prompts assist the process, but do not amount to managed outreach.
• The paid tiers are not yet purchasable. Guests seeking the proposed higher-volume or concierge features must wait.
• It is web-only and adult-only. It is not a fit for users who need a native mobile app or are under 18.

Alternatives

Podcast Guest Booking Software is the broader category directory for comparing booking tools. Consider Guestio if you want Android or iOS apps, a free trial, and a free plan capped at five pitches a month. DM-Mi is another mobile and web option, with a free contributing guest profile and a podcast-creator plan at £30 a month after its initial period. Choose show.fm if you need a web/API show-management option with a free tier that specifies show, episode, staff-seat and automation limits.

PodcastGuests.com may suit guests who prefer twice-weekly email opportunities, or a paid directory profile starting at $20 a month. Airlist is worth considering for a free guest-management pipeline with a 15-guest cap and follow-up reminders. Codie Dog is a web alternative with a free plan and no premium tiers. GuestLoop offers a free guest profile, discovery feed, booking management and unlimited applications on the web. Pitchguest may be a better fit for guests who want research and outreach quotas spelled out in a free tier, or a 9.00 USD-per-month Podcaster plan.

Verdict

Choose Let's Make A Podcast if you are an adult guest or host who wants a free, shared place to discover matches and handle booking conversations through scheduling. Its strongest case is the breadth of the free workflow; look elsewhere if you need mobile apps or paid, managed pitching now.
