Talks (talks.co) is a podcast guest and host matching platform founded in 2024 by Liam Austin, Alessandro Chisari, and Sarah Thorslund. Its core feature is an AI matcher that analyses profiles, preferences, audience overlap, content style, and experience level to suggest the most compatible host-guest pairings. The platform uses a double opt-in model \u2014 both parties must express mutual interest before a connection is made \u2014 eliminating unsolicited cold pitches from both sides.<\/p>\n
For guests, Talks provides free AI-powered digital speaker pages (described as the ‘LinkedIn for podcast guests’) that replace static PDF one-sheets. These pages auto-surface availability, preferred formats, recent appearances, and lead magnet embeds, and come with a short personalised URL (e.g. talks.co\/yourname). Pro members gain additional visibility through priority placement in search results, a Video Pitch feature, unlimited conversation threads, premium search filters, and the ability to initiate up to 30 conversations per month.<\/p>\n
The platform is positioned as a self-serve, direct-connection marketplace rather than a full-service booking agency, making it accessible to coaches, authors, entrepreneurs, and podcast hosts who want to grow their authority and audience through podcast interviews without paying agency-level fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
