Stand out from the noise!
As more writers reach out to me with their podcast submissions I thought that a summary page covering the details I require to write a bespoke podcast review might help. As the podcast submissions increase, I am having to be selective with the reviews that I write so please do not take offence if your podcast is not selected.
Images
The saying goes a picture tells a thousand words, and I can probably do a decent Photoshop of the image of your podcast to use within my review, however, it probably makes more sense for you to share with me some of the best podcast images you have which will, in turn, make your review pop from a visual standpoint.
Concept
Where did the concept and brainchild come from for your podcast? Are you a seasoned podcast vet with years of history, or perhaps you’re a newbie to the scene? Both of you had a starting point regardless of experience, and within that, there is a story. Where did the concept & idea come from for your budding Sci-Fi, comedy, true crime thriller podcast come from?
Social media
As my reviews are shared both on Twitter & Instagram if you have actor’s, producer’s, sound production people that you want to be included within my tweet, it kinda makes sense that you share their names, and Twitter handles with me. Likewise, if your podcast had a muse, or perhaps someone you want to hopefully grab the attention of within my tweet let me know who they are, and they will go into my tweet.
Youself
Who are you? Who is the creative engine behind your podcast? If there are different actor’s used within your podcast who are they? All of this really helps me frame your review, and if it’s just you & a chap called Dave, well that’s cool. Just give me as many details as you can, and I will make you & Dave stand out.
