Type your expertise in plain English. The AI returns 50-200 podcasts that book external guests, ranked by audience size, recency of publishing, and topical fit. Replaces hours of manual research with a single query.
Every match includes a "Draft pitch" button that produces a personalized 120-160 word cold email — referencing the show's recent episodes and proposing three specific angles. Copy, customize the variables, send.
Before results are scored, every topic match is checked for real guest history: how many outside guests it has booked, how recently, and how many were first-timers. Shows that have never had a guest drop out, so a run can tell you up front that only 12 of 48 matches book guests at all. The same analyzer powers the Pitch Fit tab on every podcast profile, so the two never disagree.
Narrow to specific countries (100+), categories (20+), languages, and activity window. Set a minimum episode count to exclude brand-new shows, or focus only on shows that published in the last 30 days.
Every match has a transparent Pitch Score so you know why a show was recommended. The score blends Apple chart position, posting cadence in the last 60 days, and topical match to your expertise.
Click into any podcast and access the verified host email, social profiles, and website (where available). 4M+ verified contacts in the CastFox database.
Every result can be saved to a Pitch List in CastFox. Use the My Pitches dashboard to track who you have emailed, follow-up status, and reply outcomes. Replaces ad-hoc spreadsheets.

Tell the AI your expertise — e.g. "climate finance" or "early-stage SaaS founders" — and it matches you with active podcasts where your topic fits. Results are scored by audience size, posting cadence, and topical fit. Every match includes a one-click AI-generated pitch email referencing the actual show.
Searching and previewing matches is free. Generating personalized pitch emails with AI is a Pro feature: upgrade to Pro to draft and send unlimited pitches.
A combined "Pitch Score" weights three things: the show's popularity/chart rank, how recently it published (activity signal), and topical relevance to your expertise. Dormant shows are deprioritized — you only see podcasts actively accepting episodes.
Every topic match is analyzed against the show's recent episodes for real guest history: guest rate, guest slots per month, how many guests were first-timers, and days since the last guest. Shows with no guest history are filtered out before ranking. You can see the same evidence for any single podcast in the Pitch Fit tab on its profile, which runs on the same analyzer.
Yes. Every podcast has a "Draft pitch" button. The AI reads the show's description and categories, then writes a warm, specific 120-160 word email proposing concrete episode angles, ready for you to personalize and send.
Yes. Filter by 100+ countries, 20+ categories, language, and activity window (shows updated in the last 30/60/90 days). You can also set a minimum episode count to exclude brand-new podcasts.
