Hey, this is Fritz. One of the things we’re super careful about in the guest procurement process is making sure we find people that are the right fit for the show.

It starts with first designing a show that attracts the right people. From the show graphics to the description, we tune the language to appeal to the correct folks.

Next, we build a custom intake form for the client. With a list of questions designed to learn as much as possible about the guest so that the host is prepared, but also to help filter out who isn’t a good fit.

Because we find guests all over the place on MatchMaker.fm, Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook and other outlets, we need to be careful about who we let on.

Previously this is how we’d do it:

• Design the show as above
• Create an intake form with agreed-upon questions
• Client gets an email for every applicant that fills out the form
• Client sends a “YES” or a “NO” to us
• We send the appropriate email to the applicant (get scheduled or rejection)

Now? We’ve streamlined much of the process:

• Design the show as above
• Create an intake form an agreed-upon questions
• Add logic to automatically reject applicants that meet certain agreed-upon conditions–applicant receives a nicely-worded yet firm rejection that they’re not a fit for the show, but the client doesn’t receive an email at all (keeping their inbox nice and quiet).
• If they’re not rejected then the client gets an email with all the details.
• Client can then accept or reject with the press of a button

The important part here is: the client only receives an email if they’re a pretty good fit. And if they’re not? We talk about it and figure out how to automatically filter those people out so there are less of them in the future.

Everything about what we do is literally built to make it as easy as possible for our clients to have a podcast. Really the only thing we can’t do is the one thing they can, which is: interviewing guests and building awesome relationships.

If this makes you think you might want to take a step toward having your own show, with a minimum of fuss, then we are (biased of course lol, but) happy to learn more about your business. And we’ve streamlined a lot of that process too.
