# Find Podcasts to Pitch: Guest Shows With Host Emails

**Use case:** 

A worked example of building a podcast pitch list across several topics at once. It searches business, marketing and finance podcasts, keeps only shows that are still publishing and interview guests, and returns each one with the host's contact email, publishing pace, guest episode share and a lead score.

## Input

    "marketing",
    "personal finance"

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/precious_bathmat/podcast-guest-leads.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
