Listen Later

Timothy Kimo Brien did a review of Writers drinking coffee on his Find a Podcast About show. Later he had a show pitch to come on the Writers Drinking Coffee. So two points:

  • Tim is not the host of Writers Drinking Coffee - He creates the Fine a Podcast About show
  • What would a finance person want on a show about writing

Takeaways:
  • The episode exemplifies the importance of understanding the podcast's content before pitching.
  • Listeners are encouraged to thoroughly research a podcast prior to submitting a guest proposal.
  • Effective pitches are predicated on familiarity with the podcast's themes and audience expectations.
  • The discussion highlights how misdirected pitches can lead to frustration for podcasters and potential guests.
  • Tim's experiences underscore the necessity of aligning guest expertise with the podcast's subject matter.
  • The hosts advocate for a systematic approach to pitching, emphasizing clarity and relevance.
