Adding Hosts and Guests

Contributing to PodPeopleDB

Automatic Import via podcast:person Tags

PodPeopleDB automatically imports host and guest information from podcast feeds that use the podcast:person namespace. If your podcast uses these tags, your host information will be automatically imported when someone looks up your podcast.

Manual Submission

For podcasts that don't use the podcast:person tag, you can manually submit host information:

  1. Enter your Podcast Index Feed ID on the homepage
  2. Click on "Add New Host/Guest" on the podcast page
  3. Fill in the host details:
    • Name (required)
    • Role (Host or Guest)
    • Description
    • Link to more information
    • Profile image URL
  4. Submit for approval

Approval Process

To maintain data quality, all manual submissions are reviewed before being added to the database. This typically takes an hour or two at most. If you'd prefer to add your own hosts without approval you can always self-host PodPeopleDB if you'd prefer.
