Whether you’re a seasoned producer, audio engineer, show host, content strategist, or industry analyst, your perspective is exactly what we need to elevate the conversation around this dynamic medium.

What We’re Looking For

We’re specifically seeking podcast professionals who can contribute their expertise in several key areas. Your insider knowledge, technical understanding, and industry experience provide the foundation for the kind of nuanced analysis our audience craves.

Pitch Us Your Article Ideas

Share Your Industry Insights
You see trends before they hit mainstream consciousness. You understand the technical challenges behind seamless audio experiences. You know which platforms are genuinely innovating versus those just riding waves. We want to hear your article ideas that dig beneath the surface of podcasting’s biggest conversations.

Consider pitching us ideas about:

Bring Your Unique Angle
Your professional experience gives you access to stories and perspectives that outsiders simply can’t match. Whether it’s behind-the-scenes insights from major productions, analysis of industry business models, or predictions about where the medium is heading, your expertise translates into content our readers can’t find anywhere else.

Write Critical Examinations

Product Reviews That Matter
The podcasting ecosystem is flooded with tools, software, and platforms, each promising to revolutionize how we create and consume audio content. But which ones actually deliver? Your hands-on experience with recording software, hosting platforms, analytics tools, and distribution networks provides the credibility needed for reviews that creators can trust.

We’re looking for critical examinations of:

Deep-Dive Analysis
Beyond simple product reviews, we value comprehensive breakdowns that explore how tools, trends, and technologies fit into the broader podcasting landscape. Your ability to contextualize individual products within industry-wide movements makes your analysis invaluable.

Send Us Tips

Whether it’s upcoming platform changes, behind-the-scenes industry drama, emerging trends, or significant business moves, your tips help us stay ahead of the curve and provide our audience with timely, relevant coverage.

Story Leads
Sometimes the most compelling stories start with a simple tip. Maybe you’ve noticed a concerning trend in how platforms treat creators, or you’ve spotted an innovative approach to podcast monetization that deserves broader attention. Your insights often become the starting point for deeper investigations.

Why Your Voice Matters Now

The podcasting industry sits at a fascinating crossroads. Traditional media companies are making massive investments while independent creators are finding new ways to build sustainable businesses. AI is beginning to impact production workflows while concerns about authenticity and human connection remain paramount.

These complex dynamics require analysis from people who understand the industry from the inside. Your perspective as a podcast professional provides context that pure enthusiasm or surface-level observation simply cannot match.

What Makes a Strong Contribution

Authenticity Over Promotion
We’re not looking for marketing copy or thinly veiled product pitches. The most valuable contributions come from honest assessment, critical thinking, and willingness to explore both strengths and weaknesses in whatever you’re examining.

Depth Over Breadth
Rather than covering everything superficially, we prefer contributors who can dive deep into specific areas where they have genuine expertise. Your specialized knowledge is your strength—lean into it.

Context and Implications
The best contributions don’t just describe what’s happening; they explain why it matters and what it might mean for the industry’s future. Your ability to connect dots and identify patterns makes your analysis genuinely valuable.
