Finance Podcasts That Accept Guests (and How to Pitch)

Plenty of finance podcasts take guests, and a handful publish a clear way to apply: Breaking Banks, Payments on Fire, Fintech Garden, Financial Advisor Success, The White Coat Investor Podcast, Money Guy's Making a Millionaire, The Investor's Podcast Network and VC10X. Each one has its own form, email or social route, and nearly all of them want a real story or deep expertise instead of a product pitch.

Below is who each show is for, how to reach it, and the compliance check worth doing before you hit send. Details come from each show's own pages and can change, so open the link and check before you pitch.

What kinds of guests do finance podcasts want?

Finance shows split into a few camps, and each wants a different guest.

• Fintech and banking shows want founders, bankers and operators who can explain a real problem they solved. Breaking Banks and Payments on Fire sit here.
• Personal finance shows want people with a story listeners can learn from, often with real numbers. Making a Millionaire and The White Coat Investor fit this group.
• Investing shows want proof of skill. Some set hard bars, like an audited track record.
• Industry shows want peers. Financial Advisor Success interviews advisors about how they built their firms.

Work out which camp you belong to before you pitch. A fintech founder and a person who paid off their student loans are both good guests, just for different shows.

Which finance podcasts accept guests?

Here is the short version, then a note on each show.

Breaking Banks

Brett King and Jason Henrichs host this weekly fintech show from Provoke.fm, with founders, bankers and innovators talking about change in financial services. The Be a Guest page asks you to focus on solving real challenges rather than pitching products, and to bring concrete examples and outcomes. It fits fintech founders and bank leaders with a story about what worked. Note that the same page offers both earned guest spots and paid sponsorship, so be clear which one you are applying for.

Payments on Fire

Glenbrook Partners produces this show of interviews with people across the global payments industry, for listeners at networks, processors, merchants and banks. Its interest submission form says the show is not sponsored by its guests and that each episode should introduce payments topics that educate listeners. If you look like a fit, they email you to set up an intro call. It suits payments specialists who can teach something.

Fintech Garden Podcast

Run by Fintech Garden from DashDevs, with builder-led conversations about payments, banking, stablecoins and AI in finance. The homepage has a Become a guest button that leads to its contact page, which lists an email address. It fits fintech founders and product leaders who can talk about building in specific markets.

Financial Advisor Success

Michael Kitces interviews financial advisors and consultants to advisors about their career path and how they built their business. Kitces says guests typically have 4+ years of experience and at least $200,000 of gross revenue, that the show is about journeys rather than industry trends, and that appearing is not paid. The podcast page has an apply or recommend a guest section.

The White Coat Investor Podcast

Dr. Jim Dahle's show covers investing and financial planning for physicians and other high earners, with reader questions and interviews with financial experts. The podcast page has an Apply Now link for people who want to be a guest. It fits doctors and other high earners with useful money lessons. Read the application questions closely, since the show is built around its own audience of physicians.

Making a Millionaire (Money Guy)

Brian and Bo of Money Guy meet guests in their studio and go through their finances on camera. The application page wants real people with real stories, asks you to be ready to be on camera and transparent, and warns you may be asked to share income and net worth. It is open to US applicants only. It fits regular people working toward wealth, not pros selling a service.

The Investor's Podcast Network

The network behind We Study Billionaires sets a very high bar. Its Be a Guest page only takes guests who have beaten the S&P 500 for over a decade with an audited track record, and declines anyone who wants to talk about something other than stock investing. The form asks for a link to a past interview and the audited record as a PDF.

VC10X

Prashant Choubey's long-form interviews with asset managers, allocators and family office principals about how they make investment decisions. The About page says pitches are screened for substance and relevance to allocators, that guests never pay, and that you reach the host on LinkedIn or X. It fits fund managers, LPs and family office investors. For more shows like it, browse venture capital podcasts.

Do you need compliance approval to go on a finance podcast?

Often, yes. If you work in a regulated role, such as a registered rep, an adviser at an RIA, or a bank employee, your employer may treat a podcast appearance as a public communication. In the US, broker-dealer communications fall under FINRA Rule 2210, and firms set their own review process on top.

Before you pitch:

1. Ask compliance first. Find out if they need to approve the topic, the show or the final recording.
2. Get the questions early. Ask the host for the outline so compliance can see it.
3. Disclose your role. Say who you work for and any conflicts, on air if needed.
4. Do not give personal investment advice. Talk about principles and your experience, not what listeners should buy, unless you are licensed and your firm has signed off.

Hosts like guests who handle this without fuss. It tells them you will not cause problems after the episode goes out.

How do you pick the right finance podcast to pitch?

Fit matters more than size. Listen to two recent episodes, then check:

• Do recent guests look like you? If every guest is a bank CEO and you run a budgeting newsletter, look elsewhere.
• Does the show state a bar? The Investor's Podcast Network and Kitces both publish theirs. Do not pitch if you miss it.
• Who listens? The White Coat Investor talks to physicians. Payments on Fire talks to payments pros. Pitch a problem those listeners actually have.
• Is it consumer or industry? Personal finance shows want stories regular people can use. Fintech and advisor shows want peer-level detail.

How should you pitch a finance podcast?

Keep it short and specific:

1. One topic, in plain words. "What we learned launching a euro stablecoin" beats "the future of money."
2. Why you. The firm you built, the numbers you moved, the problem you solved.
3. Proof. A talk, an article, a past interview. The Investor's Podcast Network asks for a past interview link anyway.
4. A nod to the show. Name a recent episode and say how your idea connects.
5. No product pitch. Breaking Banks and Payments on Fire both say this in their own words.

Where can you find more finance podcasts that take guests?

The shows above publish a route. Many more finance and fintech podcasts take guests but only list a general inbox, so you will need to look harder or warm up a connection first. You can browse podcasts by topic and language on Prends and send a short request to shows that are listed there. Before you agree to any paid spot, read do podcasts pay guests for how sponsored appearances and disclosure work.

Pick two shows from the table that match your camp, listen to one recent episode of each, and send your first pitch this week.
