Your podcast, your criteria

Castempo starts by understanding your show.

Great recommendations require context. Castempo uses information about your podcast, audience, goals, Ideal Guest Criteria, and exclusions to make its guidance specific to your show.

This context follows the workflow so you don't have to explain your podcast again every time you evaluate a guest or prepare an episode.

Qualify

Know who's worth putting in front of your audience.

Guest pitches can sound impressive. That doesn't necessarily mean the person is right for your show.

Paste a potential guest's bio into Castempo and evaluate them against your podcast, audience, goals, and Ideal Guest Criteria.

Every podcast guest evaluation includes

  • Match score
  • Yes / Maybe / No recommendation
  • Score breakdown
  • Audience value
  • Suggested episode angle
  • Episode narrative arc
  • Risks or concerns
  • Evaluation summary

You make the final decision. Castempo helps you make a better one.

Inbound guests

Let potential guests come to you.

Castempo gives you a public podcast guest application you can share as a link or add to your website. Potential guests can submit their information without accessing your Castempo workspace.

When an application arrives, Castempo can evaluate the potential guest against your show's criteria so you can review the strongest opportunities without manually sorting through every request.

  1. Step 1

    Guest applies

  2. Step 2

    Castempo evaluates

  3. Step 3

    Host reviews

  4. Step 4

    Approve or decline

Applicants never see your internal evaluation or score. You stay in control of who moves forward.

Prepare

Everything you need for the interview, ready when you are.

Once you've decided to move forward with a guest, Castempo helps turn that guest into a thoughtful, well-prepared episode. The Show Kit brings the important information together in one place.

  • Guest background
  • Guest fit and context
  • Recommended episode angle
  • Narrative arc
  • Personalized interview questions
  • Intro
  • Outro
  • Guest and booking information

When it's time to record, simply open the Show Kit.

Create better conversations

Questions built for this guest, this audience, and this conversation.

Castempo doesn't simply generate a generic list of podcast interview questions. It uses the guest, your audience, and the direction of the episode to help create questions designed to uncover useful insights, stories, and memorable moments.

You've said the second hundred hires were harder than the first ten. Why?

Opens a story

Follow-up: What did the first cracks actually look like day to day?

What did you keep doing yourself long after you should have handed it off?

Personal and specific

Follow-up: What finally made you let go of it?

Walk me through the week you realized the old system had stopped working.

Narrative

Follow-up: Who noticed it before you did?

These are conversation starters you can edit and reorder, not a rigid script.

Improve

Your interview is over. Your opportunity to improve isn't.

After you add the transcript, Castempo looks at the conversation from a perspective most podcast tools ignore: the host's performance.

Castempo Host Coaching provides practical feedback designed to help you become a better listener and interviewer over time.

What podcast host coaching looks at

  • Active listening
  • Follow-up questions
  • Conversation depth
  • Where the host talks too much
  • Giving guests room to speak
  • Reliance on prepared questions
  • Missed conversational opportunities
  • The one skill to work on next

Don't just produce more episodes. Become a better host with every one.

Manage

Know what's happening with every guest and episode.

Castempo keeps guest information, booking details, preparation, transcripts, generated content, and episode history connected.

Instead of hunting through email, documents, spreadsheets, and separate AI conversations, you can see where everything stands.

Castempo works alongside the booking tool you already use. Keep your scheduling link, and Castempo keeps the guest, the recording date, and the preparation together.

Publish

Turn the conversation into what you need to publish the episode.

Once the interview is complete, add the transcript and Castempo helps prepare the content needed to publish and promote the episode.

Remember

The more episodes you create, the more history Castempo can use.

Your podcast shouldn't start from zero every time you create a new episode. Castempo keeps your guest and episode history together and can use previous episode titles when generating new title ideas, helping reduce repeated wording, structures, hooks, and themes.

Your show has a history. Castempo helps you use it.

Connected context

AI can generate an answer. Castempo understands where that answer belongs.

Generic AI tools can help with individual tasks. Castempo connects those tasks to your podcast workflow, guest, audience, episode, and history.

A general AI tool

  • Start a new conversation
  • Explain the context
  • Generate an output
  • Copy it somewhere else
  • Repeat for the next task

Castempo

  • Your podcast context is already there
  • Guest evaluation stays connected to the guest
  • Preparation stays connected to the episode
  • Transcript content stays connected to the episode
  • Coaching becomes part of your host history
  • Castempo guides you toward what comes next
