EconTalk runs an interview format and publishes roughly every 7 days. Signals we read: guest named in titles; interview language in episodes; interview framing in show description. Pitch a specific episode idea rather than a description of yourself, reference an episode you have actually heard, and lead with one checkable proof point. Shows at this cadence typically book two to six weeks out.
Convokast is an independent podcast booking agency. We pitch founders to shows like EconTalk, and you approve every show first.
