The Podcast Academy
Free access to Qwoted enables podcast hosts and producers to discover credible expert voices more efficiently, craft stronger episodes, and attract new listeners.
Qwoted, the expert sourcing platform that helps media professionals connect with vetted experts and sources, today revealed a new partnership with The Podcast Academy offering its community complimentary access to Qwoted's podcast guest discovery features.
The collaboration aims to assist podcast hosts, producers, and bookers in reducing the time spent locating qualified guests for upcoming episodes. Using Qwoted, podcasters can describe what they need, receive proposals from verified experts, and directly engage with voices that deliver insight, authority, and novel viewpoints to their shows.
Exceptional podcasting depends on meaningful conversations, yet identifying the ideal guest often demands hours of searching, outreach, follow‑ups, and verification. Qwoted simplifies this process by offering podcasters a unified platform to locate vetted experts and sources and evaluate relevant pitches in a single location.
"Podcasters are balancing the roles of journalists, producers, and community builders simultaneously," said Shahar Fridman, CMO, Media at Qwoted. "They require credible guests who enrich an episode, but they also need a quicker method to find them. This partnership with The Podcast Academy allows us to extend Qwoted to more creators who are fostering meaningful conversations and cultivating loyal audiences."
Free for podcasters, Qwoted serves creators at any stage—from individuals launching a new show to established teams booking guests across multiple series. The platform provides hosts and producers with a practical way to find vetted experts and sources, broaden their network, and produce episodes that are timely, informed, and valuable to listeners.
The partnership also fosters audience growth. By featuring credible guests with relevant expertise and their own engaged followings, podcasters can create stronger episodes while reaching new listeners through guest‑driven promotion and discovery.
The Podcast Academy is a nonprofit professional membership organization that supports podcasters via education, community, networking, mentorship, and industry recognition, including The Ambies®. Through this partnership, Qwoted and The Podcast Academy are equipping podcast creators with an additional resource to make show production easier and more effective.
"The right guest can transform the quality of an entire episode," said Nancy Sanchez, Community Outreach Manager at The Podcast Academy. "Qwoted gives our community a straightforward, valuable way to discover credible voices, save time, and dedicate more energy to crafting great shows."
Starting today, podcast hosts, producers, and bookers can begin finding their next guest on Qwoted.
