For PR, Brand & Marketing Teams

AI podcast media list builder. Land more coverage, in seconds.

Build targeted podcast media lists the moment the brief lands — for PR agencies, in-house comms teams, brand marketers, media buyers, sponsorship leads, book publicists, and marketing consultants. Describe your podcast outreach campaign in plain English and let AI pull a ranked, export-ready list of podcasts to pitch, sponsor, or advertise on. Spend the rest of the week pitching and closing — not copy-pasting from Google.

CastFox AI Media List Builder in action

The fastest way to build a podcast media list in 2026

Every PR agency, communications team, brand marketer, and media buyer runs into the same problem: building a targeted podcast media list takes days of junior researcher time, and by the time the list is finished, the data is already stale. Chart positions have moved. Shows have gone dormant. Categories have shifted. The spreadsheet your team built last Monday is half-wrong by Friday.

CastFox solves this with an AI-powered podcast media list builder that turns a plain-English campaign brief — "find Canadian true-crime podcasts with weekly episodes and a large audience", "build a podcast advertising list for fintech shows in the US", "make me a book PR media list of parenting podcasts in Spanish" — into a ranked, export-ready roster of podcasts to pitch, sponsor, or collaborate with.

Whether you're running podcast PR outreach, a podcast sponsorship campaign, a book launch media list, an executive thought-leadership push, an author podcast tour, or a podcast advertising buy, the tool does the same thing: it takes the grinding hours of research off your plate and hands back a list that's accurate today and defensible in front of a client tomorrow.

No more wrestling with Podchaser taxonomies. No more Cision or Muck Rack annual contracts for half-baked podcast data. No more scrolling Apple Podcasts top charts country by country. One query, one list, one CSV. That's the pitch.

Questions teams ask

How much time does an AI podcast media list builder actually save my PR team?+
Teams tell us a targeted 80-show podcast media list used to take 3–5 days of junior researcher time — pulling charts, cross-checking categories, filtering for active shows, verifying audience geography, deduping entries, and rebuilding spreadsheets. CastFox's AI media list builder delivers the same podcast outreach list in under 10 seconds. That frees your PR team, comms agency, or in-house brand group to spend the week pitching podcast hosts, closing sponsorship deals, and reporting on earned media — instead of Googling podcast names and copy-pasting iTunes URLs.
Who uses the CastFox podcast media list builder?+
PR agencies building client pitch lists, in-house communications and brand teams planning product launches, media buyers researching podcast sponsorship candidates, author PR specialists booking book tour podcast interviews, executive thought-leadership managers, marketing consultants running podcast advertising campaigns, and freelance publicists shipping client-ready deliverables. If your job depends on getting a client, product, book, founder, or executive in front of the right podcast audience — this is the tool.
How is CastFox different from Podchaser Pro, Cision, Muck Rack, or a spreadsheet?+
Traditional podcast databases and legacy PR platforms make you wrestle a clunky category taxonomy and still return dead, dormant, or off-topic shows. CastFox understands plain-English campaign briefs ("find Canadian true-crime podcasts with weekly episodes"), filters for shows that actually publish using daily activity signals, and ranks results by real audience data from Apple Podcasts charts across 100+ countries. And unlike enterprise PR databases, there's no annual contract, no procurement cycle, no demo-wall — it's free to try.
Can I export podcast media lists to my CRM, outreach platform, or client deck?+
Yes — one click to CSV. Drop your podcast outreach list straight into Notion, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, BuzzStream, Pitchbox, Google Sheets, or any outreach tool your team runs. Every row includes podcast title, host name, full description, image URL, Apple Podcasts link, category tags, episode count, language, popularity score, chart rank, and scrape date — everything you need to personalize a pitch email or build a client-ready sponsorship deck.
Will my podcast media list still be accurate next week?+
Yes. Apple Podcasts chart data refreshes every single day across 100+ country storefronts, and our activity filter hides any podcast that hasn't published in your chosen window (30, 60, 90, or 180 days). You will never again pitch a dormant podcast, waste a publicist's time on a defunct feed, or pitch a sponsorship to a show that stopped airing six months ago.
Can I filter podcasts by country, language, category, and audience size?+
Yes. Filter by country (100+ Apple Podcasts storefronts including US, UK, Canada, Australia, Spain, Mexico, Germany, France, Brazil, and more), by language, by category/genre (true crime, business, health, technology, parenting, finance, news, comedy, education, and 20+ more), by minimum episode count, by activity window, by explicit-content toggle, and by popularity threshold. Combine any filters to zero in on the exact podcast audience your PR campaign or sponsorship deal needs to reach.
Does this work for podcast sponsorship research and advertiser outreach?+
Absolutely. Media buyers and sponsorship teams use CastFox to build vetted lists of podcast sponsorship candidates — filtered by audience country, genre, and popularity — with real chart-rank signals to defend the recommendation in a client meeting. It replaces hours of manual podcast advertising research with a single AI-powered query.
Can I use this for book PR, author podcast interviews, and thought-leadership campaigns?+
Yes. Book publicists use CastFox to build author podcast tour lists filtered by topic and audience country. Thought-leadership teams build lists of business, leadership, and industry-specific podcasts for executive interview campaigns. Anyone running an earned-media push — a product launch, a keynote promo, a research-report rollout — can build the target podcast list in seconds instead of days.
Is there an AI podcast media list API or integration available?+
The tool is built on a chart-intersect index that spans 5M+ podcasts, joined against daily Apple Podcasts chart data across 100+ countries. CSV export is the fastest integration today; enterprise API access for agencies and platforms is available on request.
How much does the AI podcast media list builder cost?+
Free to try. Run unlimited searches, test the AI against your current workflow, and decide if it fits. No credit card, no demo call, no sales cycle — just open the tool and build your first list.
