To Get Radio Interviews Have a Good Publicity Pitch Strategy

If you want to get interviews on the radio, TV, or podcasts, start by developing a professional-style targeted PR pitch yourself.

To write your radio interview pitch, here are some story ideas that you can prepare in advance. These “evergreen” topics are covered repeatedly, worldwide, every year, so you’ll have a better chance of press coverage if you are prepared with an interesting, new angle on recurring topics like these.

Ask yourself how does my product, new book, web site, or service tie-in with news about:

  • Major holidays (What’s your Christmas angle? How about Valentine’s Day or July 4th?)
  • Natural disasters (Sadly, every year brings more hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. How can you pitch your product as complementing a story on these topics?)
  • Elections
  • Olympics/Superbowl/World Cup/World Series
  • Graduating Classes – every year produces a new crop of graduates with the same needs for jobs, apparel, housing, financial planning, etc.
  • Surveys – create one and publish the results
  • Consumer protection issues
  • Celebrity weddings/Dinners

Talk radio shows and podcasts are always covering these types of stories but looking for new ways to make them fresh and interesting to their audiences. Help them do their jobs and you (or your public relations clients) will be rewarded with free coverage!

Bonus tip: “If it bleeds, it leads”
Audio-visual aids make all the difference when pitching television reporters. TV shows need compelling video and if you can provide interesting visuals, your story has a MUCH better chance of being covered on TV.
