Find Podcast Contacts
find_podcast_contactsFind ACTIVE podcasts whose recent episodes cover a topic, each with the best published contact route for booking a guest or buying sponsorship. Searches episode titles and show notes across ~740k podcasts that published in the last year (from the Podcast Index open directory plus each show's own RSS feed and website). Every result carries the episodes that prove the fit, the show's activity status, and either best_route (with holder_type person / role / hosting_account_owner, its source_url and last_observed date) or route_status "none_found" with what was checked. Routes designated for your purpose rank first; a general contact or a person's published address is a labelled fallback. For a signed-in account, shows and people you recorded as contacted, declined, booked or do_not_contact are left out. Use get_podcast_profile for one show in full.
