Which podcasts would be interested in my book?
December 2, 2020 8:59 AM   Subscribe

I've written a book on memory techniques for kids. I'd like to go on podcasts to talk about it. Do you have suggestions for podcasts that I could pitch myself to?

I'm looking for podcasts that:
• are open to having authors as guests;
• might be interested in me or my book.

This could include podcasts on parenting, education, children's books, writing, self-improvement, or pretty much any other category I could reasonably discuss.

PS: I have searched for podcasts on these topics and as you'd imagine there's an overwhelming number of them! So, with this AskMe, I'm looking less for "Here's a link to 500 podcasts on this general topic" and more for help in finding specific possibilities.

The Learning Scientists has a very good podcast on this topic and sometimes has guests.

Hidden Brain was the first one that came to mind.

Is this your book with Odd Dot? Do you have a publicist you've been working with? For larger podcasts in particular, you'll likely have an easier time if you have publicist pitching on your behalf, rather than trying to pitch yourself. (Apologies for the useless advice if you're already coordinating with them!) Normally publicists don't want to pitch anything this long after publication, but given how rough a year this has been all around and how completely awful the publicity landscape was at the end of October (in the US anyway) it may be worth asking for a little extra help.

Response by poster: Thanks for the podcast suggestions, Frenchy67, chiefthe, Iris Gambol, and bilabial! I will check all of those out.

Narrative Priorities, I've spoken with my publicist and we've agreed that it makes sense for me to drive this, but you raise a very good point. I'll keep that in mind for the larger podcasts in particular. Thanks!
