Pitch a guest. Read this first.

About 200 pitches reach us every month. We book roughly two in a hundred. That is not a filter we enjoy — it is what 658 episodes and 362 operators has taught us about what an audience of a million people a month will actually sit through.

What gets a yes
  • A legendary background — something built, run, sold or survived at a scale people recognise
  • Real awareness — an audience of their own on social, in press, or on stage
  • A story with numbers attached, not adjectives
  • Something they can say here that they have not said everywhere else
What usually gets a no
  • A service to sell and no story to tell
  • “Thought leadership” with nothing behind it
  • A one-line email with a calendar link
  • Anything a listener could get from a LinkedIn post

The pitch

The more of this you fill in, the faster we can say yes or no. Name and email are the only ones we insist on.
