Book podcast guests who apply first

Add a podcast interview link where guests apply, you approve, and only then do they see your calendar.

About 5 minutes.

1. Find the Podcast card

   Open your account page and find the card called Book podcast guests.

2. Turn on podcast recordings

   Leave Guests apply first and I approve them ticked. If you record in Riverside, you can paste your studio guest link now or later. Tap Add podcast recordings.

3. Copy your podcast guest link

   The card now shows your Podcast interview link. Tap Copy. Share it anywhere you invite guests: your website, your show notes, PodMatch or a direct message.

4. What guests fill out

   Guests type their name and email, and their mobile if they like. They answer a few short questions: what they'd love to talk about, a short bio, their website or social links, and where listeners can find them. Then they tap Send my application. They get an email saying their application is in.

5. You get an email

   The email says New guest application, with their answers. Tap Review the application.

6. Approve or decline

   Tap Approve and send the booking link, or Decline (nothing is sent). You can also do it on the Podcast card. Under Waiting for you, tap Approve or Decline next to each name.

7. What an approved guest gets

   An email with a Pick my recording time button. The link is just for them and works once. Decline sends nothing.

8. Let anyone book instead

   On the Podcast card, tap Let guests book without applying. To switch back, tap Make guests apply first.
