#18887 Pitch Pants to more podcasts Issue created by cczona Note: a good combination of guests to pitch is either two core team members from different organizations, or one core team member plus one user from the general public. Either pairing brings a nice balance of perspectives and stories. Podcast guesting is always a fun and easy way to promote Pants, and does not require knowledge of the source code itself. Typically there is virtually no preparation required other than the pitch itself and a couple emails back and forth to schedule the interview time. Questions tend to be friendly and curious, from software engineering peers rather than hard-hitting journalists. Podcasters are interested in your unique perspective and experiences rather than probing whether you have exhausive knowledge of Pants. It's common for the interview to take an hour or less, with no other work on the interviewee's part. Many podcasts also offer the option to have something deleted from the recording upon request (confirm when scheduling). So if you stumble on your words, or need time to think about an answer, typically no one but you and the interviewers know.
