We research the shows, write the pitches, and send them from your own inbox. You show up, record, and we keep finding more shows.
Audience-fit research takes hours per show. Most founders give up after 5 prospects and pitch the same wrong list everyone else does.
"I love your podcast" openers get ignored. Hosts can spot template language from the subject line and never open the email.
Tools that auto-generate pitches scale the same generic copy. Reply rates drop. Domain reputation suffers. You stop sending.
No demos, no sales calls, no annual contract. Start the trial and watch the first pitches go out from your own inbox this week.
Pay $15 for 7 days. Fill a ten-minute intake and connect your Gmail or Outlook in one click.
Within 5 business days, 5 hand-written, episode-specific pitches go out from your inbox — each reviewed by a human first.
Host responses route straight to you. Like what you see, pick a plan. If not, cancel — no questions, no retention call.
From subscribing to your first pitch sent takes under a week. Most clients book their first podcast within 60 days.
Pay $15. Get 7 days, 5 real pitches sent. No contract, no commitment after.
Ten-minute intake covers your bio, talking-point angles, target audience, and goals.
Custom-written pitches sent from your Gmail or Outlook. Every one reviewed by a human before send.
Hosts respond to your inbox. You book the ones you want. We keep finding more shows.
Cheap software and expensive PR firms have opposite problems. We sit in the middle: hand-quality without the agency price tag.
We query a podcast database with audience demographics. Your pitches go to shows whose actual listeners are who you're trying to reach.
Every pitch references a recent episode of the host's show. A human writes and reviews each one. Hosts can tell the difference instantly.
Pitches come from your domain via Gmail or Outlook. Better deliverability, replies route back to you, you keep the relationships.
Reply rates and bookings vary by story and timing. These are representative of active clients across founders, authors, and coaches.
In the first 4 months, across shows reaching technical operators.
During a book-launch push — 6 turned into recorded episodes.
Sustained over 25 pitches per month on a niche leadership angle.
Booked on a 40k-download show inside the trial window.
Over two quarters, feeding a steady top-of-funnel for inbound.
Consistent cadence around a funding announcement window.
I'd tried doing this myself and gave up after a week. The pitches PodEngine sent actually sounded like me — three hosts replied in the first batch.
The episode-specific openers are the whole game. Hosts could tell I'd actually listened, except I hadn't — PodEngine did the homework.
Better ROI than the ads I was running. Zero hours a month from me, and replies land in my own inbox so I own the relationship.
I expected templated spam for $99. Instead every pitch was different and genuinely good. Booked two shows in the first month.
Every pitch references a specific recent episode. Every pitch makes a clear angle bridge to the host's audience. Every pitch ends with one CTA.
Under 90 words. No "I love your podcast." No fake compliments. No question openers.
Your conversation with Marcus last week landed on something I lived through. He said developer tools can't be bootstrapped to scale, and I went from $0 to $2M ARR in 18 months without taking a check.
We arrived at opposite conclusions from the same data. I'd love to walk your audience through what actually worked, what nearly killed the company, and the specific moment I almost took funding I shouldn't have.
Worth a future episode? Happy to send a one-pager.

Three pillars. Zero gaps. The same process behind every pitch we send, whether it's your first week or your fiftieth.
We don't pitch the same famous shows everyone chases. We match on who's actually in the audience.
Each pitch is written from scratch around a recent episode and a counter-intuitive angle only you can speak to.
Sent from your domain for deliverability, with measured follow-ups and reply triage so nothing slips.
No tools to log into, no lists to scrub, no copy to write. Your only job is to show up and record the episodes you say yes to.
No setup fees, no contracts, no minimums. Cancel anytime from your dashboard.
Fill the intake, connect your email, watch the first pitches go out. Then choose a plan or cancel.
$15 is cheap enough to be tempting and expensive enough to waste. We'd rather you self-select out than subscribe and regret it.
If your question isn't here, email hi@podengine.com. We answer every email within 24 hours.
Subscribe for $15, fill the intake, and your first pitches go out this week. No demos, no calls, no commitment after the trial.
