Podcast booking service
A podcast booking service, rebuilt around intelligence.
Booking services used to mean retainers, opaque pricing, and a spreadsheet of maybes. PitchCentric does the same job with data: hundreds of thousands of shows scored for booking probability, pitches grounded in real episodes, sent from your own inbox.
What a booking service actually does.
Strip away the branding and every podcast booking service performs the same five tasks. It researches shows that reach your audience. It finds the person who actually books guests. It writes a pitch that person will read. It follows up without being annoying. And it keeps a record of what happened so the next pitch is smarter than the last.
None of that is mysterious. What varies is who does the work, how much of it you can verify, and what it costs. A human booker charges for their Rolodex and their hours. Software charges for the system. The question worth asking is not whether to use a service; it is which of the three buying models below fits how you work.
If you want to understand the underlying process first, read our guide on how to get on podcasts. Everything on this page assumes that process; the only question is who runs it.
The market
The three ways to buy it.
Honest math, before any pitch about our own product. Each model is right for somebody; the table shows who.
Agency figures reflect published market ranges, not a claim about any single firm. For a fuller treatment of the agency model, see what a podcast booking agency costs.
The workflow
How PitchCentric works,
end to end.
One pipeline from a catalog of more than 850,000 shows to a reply in your inbox. Every step is inspectable; the scoring methodology is published in full.
Pod Score
Pod Score
Every show in the catalog gets a 0 to 100 score for audience, recency, cadence, and host quality. Browse the catalog on the podcasts directory.
Booking Probability
A second score estimates how likely this show is to book you specifically: topical fit, timing, reachability, and host openness to guests.
Episode-grounded pitches
The AI drafts each pitch from the show's real recent episodes, so the reference is specific and current rather than templated.
Send from your own inbox
Pitches go out through your Gmail or Outlook account via OAuth. Producers see you, not a sending platform.
Reply detection
When a producer answers, the thread is matched back to the pitch automatically. The loop closes in one pipeline, not a search through your inbox.

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What does a podcast booking service cost?
Done-for-you agencies typically run $2,000 to $20,000 per year and up, billed as a retainer with placement minimums. Booking intelligence platforms price like software; PitchCentric starts at $39 per month, with a 15-day free trial, card required.
How long until I get my first booking?
It depends on the fit between your expertise and the shows you pitch, and on how consistently you send. Shows that feature guests regularly respond faster than shows that rarely do, which is exactly what the Booking Probability score is built to surface before you spend a pitch. No service can honestly promise a fixed timeline.
Do I need a publicist?
For book tours, broadcast media, or crisis work, a publicist earns the fee. For podcast guesting specifically, the work is research, writing, and follow-up; PitchCentric handles all three from $39 per month, and you keep the relationships in your own inbox.
