🎙️ Podcast Leads: Host Emails from Apple Podcasts

Find active podcasts in your niche and get the host's contact email. Search Apple Podcasts by keyword or top chart and get one row per show with email, owner name, website, category, episode count, posting frequency and latest episodes.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-10-05 · 30+ fields per podcast · 25 top chart categories in 22 countries · about 3 in 4 shows publish a contact email

Podcast Leads finds podcasts on Apple Podcasts, the largest podcast directory, and reads each show's public RSS feed, where podcasters publish their contact email for directories. You get a clean lead list of active shows, with the email, the people behind the show and signals on how often they publish. Shows without a public email or without recent episodes are skipped by default, and skipped shows are not charged.

otherEmails is filled only when the feed lists a second address (managing editor or webmaster) different from the main one.

✨ Why this one

• ✅ Only shows you can contact. Shows without a public email are skipped and not charged.
• ✅ Only shows that are alive. Inactive shows are filtered out by default, so you do not pitch a podcast that ended years ago.
• ✅ Fit signals in every row: posting frequency, episode length, show age and the latest episode titles, to personalize your pitch.
• ✅ Two ways to find shows: keyword search and Apple top charts by category, across 22 countries, merged and deduplicated.

❓ FAQ

Where does the email come from? From the show's public RSS feed. Podcasters add it so that directories like Apple Podcasts can verify ownership and contact them.

How many shows have an email? In our tests, about 3 in 4 feeds include one. Some hosting platforms hide it, and those shows are skipped by default.

How many results per keyword? Apple returns up to about 100 shows per keyword and country. Add more countries, related keywords or top chart categories to find more.

Does it include Spotify-only shows? No. It covers shows listed on Apple Podcasts, which includes most podcasts that are also on Spotify.

Is it legal to email these contacts? The emails are published by the podcasters for contact. Follow anti-spam and privacy laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR) and send relevant, personal messages.

On the free Apify plan? Runs return a preview of up to 10 podcasts. Any paid Apify plan unlocks all results.
