For guest, advertising, media, and general business inquiries, email Daniel Lucas at daniel@universalpodcasts.com.
Prospective guests can contact UPN with their name, biography, proposed topic, preferred show, and official website. Every inquiry is reviewed for relevance and availability.
UPN reviews editorial interview pitches for subject fit, audience relevance, and availability. Any applicable terms are confirmed before booking. Selection is not guaranteed, and a pitch does not promise an interview, publication date, or particular treatment.
Ask Daniel about a separate, clearly disclosed paid promotional guest feature. It is a commercial feature, not an editorial endorsement or a promise of favorable coverage, audience size, or results. Scope, distribution, and the final price are confirmed in writing before booking. Advertising and sponsorships are separate placements.
Authors and publishers can submit a book title, summary, author biography, and purchase or publisher link for possible consideration on Book 101 Review.
Businesses can inquire about host-read messages, individual show sponsorships, network bundles, and multimedia campaigns. UPN confirms current options, availability, rates, and terms directly.
Listeners can use the UPN show directory and follow each show's official Apple Podcasts and Spotify links. Availability varies by show.
UPN's slogan is “One Voice, Everywhere.”
