Three Great Examples of Podcast Pitches From Dan LeFebvre

Dan LeFebvre is the host of the "Based on a True Story" show. We've all seen movies that claim to be 'based on a true story', but have you ever wondered how accurate they are? That's what you'll find out as Dan compares Hollywood with history. Check It Out. ## Three Strikes You're Out Getting a bad pitch from a company is sad. You see where they've done no research into your show. Oh well... Then they send another bad pitch, proving even more than they did zero research. Just when it can't get worse, you get a THIRD pitch with each one having nothing to do with Dan's show. ## So What Does a Good Pitch Look Like? Dan's show is a combination between Hollywood and history, and he got a pitch that: - Used his name - Was NOT generated by AI - Was 100% **personalized**. This was NOT a form letter - Reminded Dan that this guest had been on the show before Then the PR agent hooked Dan up with an early screening of the movie so he could do a better interview. ## Who benefits from that? By enabling Dan to see the movie before the interview, you are guaranteed a better interview. This can benefit Dan. After all if he does a great interview, who is the PR person going to point to if someone asks about the guest? DAN! As Dan creates a great episode, the audience wins, the guest (Jack El-Hai) wins, and the PR agency wins. Why? Because the PR agency did their homework, and now not only once but TWICE have delivered content for the audience. ## Dan Lafebvre of Based on a True Story Thanks to Dan for sharing his story you can check out his show at basedonatrustory.com Hear that interview by going to basedonatruestorypodcast.com/378 Mentioned in this episode: **We Need Your Stories - Help Guests Find You** We'd love to hear your bad (or good) pitch you've received (as we can learn from both).
