Workflow
Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Search for podcast announcement tweets
- [ ] Step 2: Collect unique host handles
- [ ] Step 3: Enrich host profiles
- [ ] Step 4: Score outreach priority
- [ ] Step 5: Deliver podcast outreach list
Step 1: Search Queries
Recommended — run_actor.js (handles waiting, output, and file saving automatically):
# Quick answer (prints table to chat)
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}'
# Save as CSV
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv
# Save as JSON
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json
APIFY_TOKENmust be set in environment or.envfile.
If Apify MCP is available:
Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~tweet-scraper"
Input:
{
"searchTerms": ["[TOPIC] podcast", "new episode [TOPIC]", "podcast host [TOPIC]"],
"maxItems": 300
}
REST API fallback:
curl -X POST \
"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tweet-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"searchTerms": ["entrepreneurship podcast", "new episode startup"], "maxItems": 300}'
Step 2: Enrich and Filter
Run apidojo~twitter-user-scraper on handles. Keep profiles where bio contains "podcast", "host", "show", "episodes".
Guest format: bio or tweets mention "guest", "interview", "this week's guest" → has_guest_format = true
Step 3: Score Outreach Priority
outreach_score = (has_guest_format ? 1 : 0.3) * 0.35
+ (tweeted_episode_in_last_30_days ? 1 : 0) * 0.25
+ (followerCount in 1000..100000 ? 1 : 0.6) * 0.25
+ (topic_alignment: strong=1, weak=0.5) * 0.15
Step 4: Edge Cases
- Account shares content but is not host: Verify bio says "host" — some accounts share show content without hosting
- Show name not findable: Note as
show_name_unknown; LinkedIn search needed - Large media company podcast: Flag as
PREMIUM_PLACEMENT— A-list guests only
Output Format
# Podcast Host Outreach List: [TOPIC]
Hosts found: [N] | Guest-format: [N] | Active: [N] | Date: [DATE]
## Priority (Guest-Format + Active + Mid-Tier)
| Host | @Handle | Show | Followers | Last Episode | Score |
|------|---------|------|-----------|-------------|-------|
## Small Shows (Easier to Land)
| Host | @Handle | Followers | Last Active |
|------|---------|-----------|------------|
## Personalization Tip
Reference the host's most recent episode topic in your pitch — hosts receive dozens of pitches, relevance is the strongest differentiator.
Troubleshooting
Results include listeners not hosts: Require "podcast host" OR "host of [show]" in bio. No show found on Twitter: Supplement with Spotify/Apple Podcasts search. Host inactive > 60 days: Flag as potentially on hiatus; verify before pitching.
