Podcast Leads Finder: Podcast Host Emails & Guest Booking List

Podcast leads finder and podcast email scraper on Apify: search Apple Podcasts by topic and get one row per active show with the host, the contact email the show publishes in its own RSS feed, website, socials, episode count, last episode date, publishing frequency and a "has guests?" signal, exported to Excel, CSV and JSON. Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit, enough for roughly 1,250 podcasts at $0.004 each (pricing below).

Build a podcast guest-booking or sponsorship list in minutes instead of clicking through hundreds of show pages.

Getting booked on podcasts (or selling to podcasters) starts with a list of active shows in your niche and a way to reach them. Podcast Leads Finder searches the public Apple Podcasts directory for your topics (titles, descriptions and keywords), then reads each show's public RSS feed to add what the directory doesn't show:

• 📧 Contact email published by the show (the itunes:owner email podcasters put in their feed for directories, or the feed's managing editor / show description), with its source. Nothing is guessed or bought
• 🎙️ Host / author, owner, website and socials (Instagram, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok when linked)
• 📅 Activity: last episode date, days since, average days between episodes, episode count. Inactive shows are filtered out by default (90 days)
• 🤝 Has guests? flag and guest-episode share from the last 20 episode titles and podcast:person tags, so you pitch shows that actually interview people
• 🌍 Country store, language, minimum episodes and "only with email" filters
• 📊 Excel + CSV export with clickable Apple Podcasts, website and RSS links
• 💸 $0.004 per podcast. 250 podcasts cost $1.00. Searches with no results cost nothing

Who it's for

• Founders, authors, coaches and consultants who want to get booked as a podcast guest
• Podcast booking agencies, PR firms and Fiverr / Upwork researchers: client-ready lists in minutes
• Sponsors and ad buyers: find active shows in a niche with their publishing cadence
• Podcast service providers (editing, launch, growth) prospecting active shows

FAQ

Is there a free way to try this podcast email finder? Yes. Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit, enough for roughly 1,250 podcasts.

Where do the emails come from? Only from each show's own public RSS feed, where podcasters publish a contact address for directories, or from the show description. No guessing, no third-party databases. Some hosts (often on Spotify/Anchor) hide their email; use Only podcasts with a contact email to skip them.

How is "has guests?" decided? At least 30% of the last 20 episode titles look like interviews ("with", "w/", "feat.", "interview", guest names) or carry podcast:person guest tags. It's a quick signal; check the recent titles before pitching.

Can I email everyone on the list? Pitch personally and relevantly, honor opt-outs and follow anti-spam laws where you and the host live (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL).

Does it cover Spotify-only shows? It covers shows listed on Apple Podcasts, which includes most shows that are also on Spotify.

Can I use it from code or an AI agent? Yes, via the Apify API, the Python/JS clients, or as a tool through Apify's MCP server.
