About GuestVine
GuestVine lets you follow people rather than podcasts. Pick anyone — a scientist, a comedian, a founder, a footballer — and every new podcast they appear on as a guest is delivered to you automatically, as a private feed in the podcast app you already use or as an email.
Who makes it
GuestVine is an independent, one-person company based in the UK. It launched in 2026. There is no outside funding, no advertising, and no sale of data: the product is paid for by Pro subscriptions and founding-member purchases, and the free plan is genuinely free.
How the data is produced
- Source. Episode metadata comes from public podcast RSS feeds via the open Podcast Index. We never scrape listening apps or private data.
- Detection.For each person we track, new episodes are matched on titles and show notes, then checked by an identity verifier so a shared name doesn't produce a wrong-person match. Appearances on a person's own podcast are recorded but never counted as guest spots.
- Rankings.Our leaderboards count distinct shows, not episodes, so one interview syndicated across several feeds counts once and a prolific host can't top a guest list off the back of their own show.
- Corrections.Every person page has a “not them?” control. Reports are reviewed and the match is blocked for that show going forward.
Using our data
Our public pages — the monthly data notes, the most-booked guests ranking and the State of Podcast Guesting report — are free to quote and cite with a link to the page. For anything beyond that, or for press questions, use the contact page.
For podcasters and guests
If you host a show, GuestVine sends your episodes to the people who follow your guests — new listeners you didn't have to find. If you're a regular guest, your page collects every appearance in one place. See GuestVine for podcasters.
