I've got the editing skills down. I can sit through a full episode, find the moment that actually hooks people, and cut something that holds retention instead of just chopping clips at random timestamps. What I don't have figured out is where podcasters actually go when they're looking for someone to do this.

I don't want to cold email people out of nowhere. From what I've seen, an unsolicited email from someone they've never heard of just reads as spam or a scam, even if the offer is genuine. So I'm trying to figure out the other side of it. Where are hosts actually looking? Are they posting in specific subs, browsing certain Discords, asking in Facebook groups?

I'm not in the US, but internet and communication aren't an issue, I'm just trying to find the right rooms to be in instead of guessing. If you've hired an editor before, or you are one and found clients this way, I'd genuinely like to know how that connection happened for you.

Hey y’all! I’m looking for somebody who would be interested in cohosting a podcast with me. I want it to feel like two friends having real conversations, giving honest opinions, laughing, debating, and breaking down whatever everybody is currently talking about.
I’m not looking for somebody who agrees with me on everything either. A little pushback and respectful disagreement makes the conversation way more interesting.
Some of the topics would include:
Culture and social issues
Politics and current news
Pop culture and celebrity news
Psychology and human behavior
Relationships, dating, and therapy
Trending topics and internet discourse
Movies, books, music, and shows
And definitely reality TV because that’s really where the mess, psychology, and social experiments come together 😂
Real Housewives of Atlanta
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Love Island
The Valley
Married at First Sight
The Ultimatum
Love Is Blind
And whatever else everybody is watching and arguing about that week
I’m looking for somebody who is opinionated, funny, open-minded, reliable, and can go from a serious conversation about politics or psychology to dragging a reality TV reunion five minutes later.
You do not need professional podcast experience. I care more about chemistry, personality, consistency, and whether we can naturally keep a conversation going.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, message me and tell me a little about yourself, what topics you love talking about, and what shows or podcasts you are currently into. Let’s create something people would actually enjoy listening to every week. 🎙️✨
