a good value!
If you are looking to be a guest on podcasts, this is a great resource for finding both contact information for outreach as well as audience/listener information for each podcast. It's easy to filter results, so you can get only the podcasts that match your critera and, if you buy two codes, there is an export option for you to take the data elsewhere, such as your own contact database or email program.
Similar databases are much more expensive. This is a deal!
My one concern, which isn't yet an issue and will hopefully be resolved by the time it becomes one, is that many podcast companies are removing email details from podcast RSS feeds. It's my guess that Podseeker is currently getting email addresses from RSS feeds (this is how most databases get this info and the best option right now) and I hope they will evolve and have additional ways to gather podcast contact info when RSS feeds eventually remove email addresses (this has already started with some hosts) or podcasts move to a non-RSS distribution method.

May 9, 2024Thanks for the review!
I hear you on the email addresses, and you are correct in saying one of the main sources of emails for us is the RSS feed. That said:
1. We already have the emails in our database for the vast majority of podcasts that have already launched
2. Most podcasts launching today still have the email in the RSS feed, it's just some that don't
3. Maybe most importantly, we don't *only* rely on the RSS feed for emails. We have a combination of sources and processes, including manual enrichment to add new data all the time, so if our RSS scrapers don't pick up an email, a human will.
Hope it helps,
Simon
