How often have you received a lazy, nonsensical, and downright lousy podcast pitch? Well, we've all been there, haven't we? Join me as we embark on a hilarious and cringe-worthy journey, unpacking some of the worst podcast pitches ever received. You'll hear about the trashy attempts in our inboxes and how we can transform them into treasures of knowledge.

Not all pitches are a perfect match, and that's okay! But how do you decline these without sounding too harsh? No worries, we've got your back! In this ultra-cringe episode, I'm sharing my approach to handling pitches that don't quite align with your show or come off as promotional and spammy. Plus, you'll hear about an Instagram story that sparked a massive response from the community -- you'll even hear from one of them.

But we're not just covering the bad ones, I promise! I'll also help you navigate the tricky terrain of crafting a pitch that stands out and forges genuine human connections. Learn the importance of personalizing your pitch, establishing a relationship, and showcasing your unique expertise. Plus, get the lowdown on researching the podcasts you pitch to ensure they're still actively publishing. So let's flip the script on these sorry pitches and turn your pitching game around!
