A guide to the best podcast matching sites.

As part my research for the Podcast Guest Blueprint course, and as a host of The UnNoticed Entrepreneur podcast, I've come across a growing number of podcast guest matching sites. I thought it would be good to collate them into one list to save you the work. 

As they each are slightly different, I listed them alphabetically to be fair.  

Which one is best? It depends entirely on your budget, your time, and your desire to appear on podcasts. They all do their job, some with more limited cost and more limited functionality, but they will all help you to get onto podcasts.
