The key to really making dynamic ads work for you- is making the best use of all the inventory (ad space) you have available in each of your episodes.

Think of your podcast media kit as a resume for your show. It’s basically a snapshot of what someone would need to know about your podcast in order to “invest” in it. That investment could be the time it takes for a guest to record with you, or it could be an important sponsorship deal that helps fund your podcast.
Let your guest know in advance what will happen during their podcast recording. We recommend modifying these Google Doc templates and sending them to your guest shortly after they book their recording date.
If you want to appear as a guest on other podcasts, you’ll need to do some outreach. Find podcasts with an audience that could directly benefit from the information you’ll be providing. Do your own homework and research each podcast before you decide to contact them and ask to be a guest on their show. When you’re ready, send them your one sheet and a memorable email.
