Airlist
What it is
Airlist is a web-based guest CRM for independent podcast hosts, bringing outreach, scheduling, follow-ups, and re-invites into one workspace. Its drag-and-drop pipeline tracks guests from ideas and research through pitching, replies, scheduling, recording, editing, publishing, and re-invites. AI guest sourcing can return ranked prospects with contact information, recent media appearances, and pitch angles based on a show’s niche. The pitch generator creates personalized cold emails with subject-line variations. Automated campaigns send a nudge after five days and a break-up email after twelve, then pause when a guest replies. A public booking page lets guests choose a recording time, answer preparation questions, and receive confirmations. The Free plan is free, billed forever, and includes up to 15 guests; the pricing page also describes a free limit of 25 active guests. Pro costs $19.99 a month, billed monthly. Every account starts with a 14-day Pro trial that includes AI sourcing, pitch generation, and automated follow-ups. Guest lists and episode trackers can be exported to CSV.
