## Resource

This special edition episode with host Tom Schwab and Interview Valet's Marketing Manager Tiffany Meenk goes beyond the data reported in the 2026 State of Podcast Guesting. Together, they discuss what's really happening in podcast guesting in 2026. Backed by over a decade of proprietary data, they reveal which platforms are rising, why video and virtual recordings dominate, and how timelines from outreach to publish now span nearly a full quarter. With competition at an all-time high, they share actionable strategies to stand out, build credibility, and maximize interviews as a long-term growth engine. If you want to leverage podcast guesting strategically, not just tactically, this episode delivers the insights and predictions you need.
