Many AI podcasts take guests, but only some publish a way for outsiders to propose one. The 15 shows below each have a public pitch, topic proposal or guest application route listed on their own site. For each one you get what the show covers, who tends to fit, how to reach it and a link to its Prends page.
All details come from each show's public pages as researched for the Prends catalog and may change. Always check the show's own site before you pitch.

How do you pick the right AI podcast to pitch?
Fit beats reach. Before pitching, listen to two recent episodes and ask:
- Do the recent guests look like me? If every guest is a researcher and you are a sales leader, move on.
- Is the show technical or business focused? SE Radio and TWIML go deep on how things work. RegulatingAI and The Artificial Intelligence Podcast focus on policy and leadership.
- What does the show say it does not want? SE Radio, for example, declines product promotion. Respect that and you stand out.
- Can I record in the show's language? PPT Não Compila records in Portuguese. More options are in our list of Spanish and Portuguese tech podcasts.
What should your pitch say?
Hosts read many pitches. Make yours easy to say yes to:
- One topic, stated plainly. "How we cut LLM evaluation time by moving to synthetic test sets" beats "AI in the enterprise."
- Why you. What you built, ran or published that gives you the right to talk about it.
- Why now. A launch, paper, talk or shift in the field.
- Proof. Links to a talk, a repo, a paper or a detailed post.
- A nod to the show. Mention a recent episode and how your topic connects.
Keep it to a few short paragraphs. Follow the show's format if it asks for one. SE Radio, for instance, asks for five bullet points or a 200-word abstract.
Can Prends help you reach these shows?

Should you pay to appear on an AI podcast?
None of the routes above involve paying. Some podcasts do sell sponsored guest spots, and that comes with disclosure rules. Read Do podcasts pay guests? before you agree to any paid appearance. If you host a show yourself, our guide on how to find great podcast guests covers the other side of the table.
