The Booking Podcast

A podcast about how podcasts get made.

Hosts, bookers, and producers on the mechanics behind great episodes. Launching Q3 2026. Two episodes per month. Thirty minutes each. Guests who actually book their own shows.

Topics we'll cover

Booking mechanics

From search to yes

How each guest host finds targets, what their research process actually looks like, how they write first-touch messages, what percentage reply.

Format decisions

Why this length, this cadence

How hosts decide runtime, release cadence, interview style, and format. What changes when the show grows. What they'd redo from scratch.

Hard booking stories

The one that almost didn't happen

The guest who said no three times. The booking that took six months. The one that fell through the day before recording. What hosts learned and what they'd do differently.
