Definition

What makes a podcast database good for PR?

A podcast database for PR is a searchable directory of shows and the hosts or bookers you can pitch. For publicists, the best one is the database that gets pitches answered, which comes down to two things: how many relevant shows it covers, and how often its contact details are right.

PodPitch reports a lead on both. Its podcast database is bigger than Podchaser, Podcast Index, Podscan and Rephonic, and 11x more accurate. That accuracy carries through to outreach, where PodPitch reports 3x higher podcast pitch reply rates than general PR tools.
