In this episode of Bad Podcast Pitches, host Bryan Entzminger delves into the world of dubious podcast promotion pitches, sharing insights from a recent pitch he received via Facebook. The pitch, which claims expertise in promoting podcasts across platforms like Apple, SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube, raises several red flags. Brian discusses the unrealistic promises of guaranteed audience growth and the potential pitfalls of engaging with such services. He emphasizes the importance of skepticism when approached with offers that seem too good to be true, highlighting the need for genuine audience engagement over artificial metrics.

Bryan also provides an update on a previous episode where he addressed a misleading outreach from a company claiming to have discovered him on a non-existent podcast. He encourages listeners to share their own experiences with bad pitches and invites feedback on his new live recording format.

We've all gotten bad pitches from services trying to book guests on our show (usually to sell their most recent me-too leadership book). This time, the bad pitch is from a service that wants me to hire them to pitch me as a guest. And it's clearly just a scrape, copy, and paste with a bit of AI dust.

I got an email congratulating me for being featured on The Audacity to Podcast® with Daniel J. Lewis and recommending another show to consider. It was definitely structured as a "Complment, Value, Offer" format (I made that up). But there are a few things wrong.

• I've never been on The Audacity to Podcast® and, to my knowledge, Daniel doesn't take guests.
• The show they recommended is absolutely not a fit (and, to my knowledge, not really a podcast).
• If this is how well they pitch, I don't think I want them representing me.

I received a follow-up a couple days later, and I will likely reach out. I'm not sure exactly how I want to do that yet. But I think it might be interesting to know what they would do differently if they were actually representing me.

Also... this is a bit of an experiment. I'm streaming live (audio only) and publishing without editing. As a podcast host and editor, I don't really do that very much. But I want to try this out to see if I can make things easier for other podcasters who are struggling with either cost or time.
