Cold email beats Twitter for landing podcast guests, blogger finds
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-10-11
Stewart Alsop III shares hands-on outreach experience: cold email is getting surprisingly good reply rates for landing interesting guests.
He compares channels: Twitter used to be a great spot and still works sometimes, but results are hit-or-miss, likely due to bots overwhelming the platform. Email has its own spam problem too, but it has always had that — and it remains the more reliable channel.
Useful takeaway for podcasters, interviewers, and indie founders doing cold outreach.
