AI Podcast Guest Booking Agent

An agent that scrapes marketing podcast host emails from Rephonic, verifies them, cold emails hosts, and autonomously books podcast guest appearances by responding to replies.

01 THE IDEA

This workflow scrapes podcast directories (via Rephonic API) for shows in a target category, verifies host email addresses through MillionVerifier, enrolls them in a targeted Instantly cold email campaign, and then runs an AI agent that reads and responds to replies to schedule interviews — all without human involvement in the outreach loop.

The output described was dramatically better-performing podcast booking than expected, turning a previously manual and time-consuming PR task into a background process. This could be productized as a done-for-you or SaaS service for founders, authors, consultants, and executives who want consistent podcast appearances for authority building.

03 THE VERDICT

Podcast guesting is a proven B2B growth channel with clear willingness to pay ($2K-$10K/month for booking agencies). Automating what agencies charge premium prices for creates an obvious price/volume arbitrage opportunity. Low startup cost and high automation score make this an ideal solo-founder play. Package it as a monthly retainer service before building a SaaS wrapper.
