Hi Podcasters,

A well-crafted press release can take your podcast from obscure to buzzworthy. Whether you’re launching a new show, celebrating a milestone, or featuring a high-profile guest, a press release is a powerful way to get noticed by media outlets, blogs, and listeners. Let’s break it down step by step so you can confidently promote your podcast.

Why Write a Press Release?

Press releases are a professional way to communicate newsworthy updates about your podcast. They help you:

• Reach journalists who can share your story.

• Improve SEO by getting featured on websites and blogs.

• Attract new listeners with compelling headlines and summaries.

When Should You Write One?

Write a press release for:

• Launching your podcast.

• Releasing an episode with a well-known guest.

• Reaching milestones like 100 episodes or 10,000 downloads.

• Hosting live events or meetups.

• Winning podcasting awards or recognition.

Tips for Success

• Keep it concise. Stick to one page.
