MyPublicist vs PodMatch: which gets you booked on podcasts?

By Will Simpson·

Short answer: PodMatch is a marketplace that helps you find and connect with shows. MyPublicist.ai runs the entire booking workflow for you. Both can get you on podcasts. The difference is how much of the work lands on you.

What PodMatch does

PodMatch is a matching service. It connects podcast guests with podcast hosts, a bit like a dating app for podcasts. You build a profile, browse or get matched with shows, and reach out. It is a solid way to discover opportunities and put yourself in front of hosts who are actively looking for guests.

What it leaves to you: writing each pitch, keeping track of who you contacted and when, following up, preparing for the interview, and doing something with the episode after it airs. The discovery is handled. The work around it is not.

What MyPublicist.ai does

MyPublicist.ai is built to do the job a publicist does, end to end, without the retainer. It finds the right shows for your expertise, writes personalized pitches in your voice, tracks your outreach so nothing slips, prepares you for each interview, and turns every appearance into a month of authority content: text posts, quote images, and carousels on every plan, plus captioned video clips on Pro, handed to your scheduler.

The difference is not the matching. It is everything around the matching, the part that quietly eats your week and causes most guesting efforts to stall after a few episodes.
