About

We tell you which podcasts will actually reply

Podcast Amplify is a directory of 20,965 podcasts built for one job: helping a founder, a local firm or a specialist get booked as a guest on a show that fits. It is run by Domain Farm Ltd.

The problem we set out to fix

Getting booked on a podcast is a numbers game. At the industry's median acceptance rate a booking costs roughly twenty pitches, so what decides whether you succeed is not the calibre of the shows on your list. It is how many real, reachable chances that list contains.

Most podcast lists fail that test badly. They are sorted by popularity, which surfaces exactly the shows a plumber or an accountant will never get on. They count a network's central press desk as a contact. And they are full of shows that stopped publishing years ago, which we measured and published: around two in five searchable podcasts are dead.

What we do differently

Bookable, not popular. A show counts as bookable only if it publishes its own inbox, sits outside the charts, and comes from a publisher running two shows or fewer. That last one matters: the FT and talkSPORT publish contact addresses, but they book to an editorial agenda. Right now 7,343 shows pass.
Reach you can check. Chart position, publishing cadence and longevity are real and public. We never publish a download or listener number, because nobody outside the show has one, and a fabricated figure is worse than no figure.
Contacts the show published itself. Every address in the directory came from that show's own RSS feed. We do not buy lists, guess firstname.lastname@ patterns, or probe mail servers.
Drafts, never sends. The pitch tool writes you a draft grounded only in the show's real attributes and the proof points you supply. You read it and you send it, from your own address, over your own name.

The line we do not cross

Store only what an outlet or platform publishes. Never generate a contact from a name pattern. Never fabricate reach, downloads, people or quotes. If a podcast host asks to be removed, that removal is immediate, absolute and enforced in the database rather than being a preference we try to remember.

This costs us numbers. A directory that inferred addresses would look several times larger. It would also be useless, and in the UK it would be unlawful.

If you host a podcast and we list you, you can see exactly what we hold, correct it, say whether you take pitches and what you charge, or have yourself removed entirely. Use the link in the email we sent you, or get in touch and we will send a fresh one.
