Copy utility

Vet any podcast before you say yes.

This separate tool does not replace or submit any of the guest, author, or advertising inquiry options above. Paste the complete prompt into the box, then copy it when you are ready.

Podcast-vetting prompt

Vet this podcast for me as a potential guest. I want to promote my business.

Podcast website: [URL]
Show I'd appear on: [SHOW NAME]
My business: [ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION]
My goal: [e.g., credibility, leads, reusable content]

Please do the following, searching the web and visiting the site:

1. Audience evidence for this specific show (not the network):
   - Apple Podcasts rating and review count
   - Listen Notes score and rank, and what that score means
   - YouTube views on the last 10 episodes, not total channel views
   - Any download or listener figures the host publishes

2. Claims check: list every audience, ranking, or review claim on the site, and mark each as verified, unverified, or contradicted, with the source.

3. Cost and terms:
   - Is there a free editorial route and a paid route? What does each include?
   - What deliverables are itemized, and what's left vague?
   - Do I get the full recording and the right to reuse it?

4. Guest quality: sample 3 recent episodes. Are guests relevant to my industry? Is the audio and interview quality good?

5. Business transparency: named host or team, contact details, address, privacy policy, terms, and consistent links.

6. Red flags and strengths, listed separately.

7. Verdict: "worth it," "maybe, if X," or "skip," with the reason tied to my goal.

8. Draft an email to the host asking for anything missing.

Cite sources, and say plainly when something couldn't be found.
