Having trouble getting guests on the show.

[Lona Mori]

Hi everyone! Does anyone have advice for getting guests on your show? I'm in a tough situation because my show is very edgy and raw. I cover social and cultural topics, in a non PC fashion. The dissuasions that take place behind closed doors are what I'm interested in. I feel that this is a way to promote understanding and reality in this world, as opposed to preaching some message of "blind bliss". I always allow the option if annonymity for the guest but I'm not sure how to reach out to people. I've tried on twitter with some success but 9 episodes in, I'd like to have a guest on every week.
I'm not necessarily looking for big names, just people who want to share their story.

Thanks,

-Lona

Hi Lona,

I suggest contacting other podcasters who are doing a show thats similar to yours. Thats the best way to reach a new audience and find a guest who will be into the topics you are discussing.

I had the same issue here. I was trying to get "experts" to come on my podcast. Best thing to do is contact people via twitter.

Ok, thanks for the helpful info. I'll keep my thumbs moving on twitter.
