Episodes on AI tooling, LLM infrastructure, developer AI workflows
"AI memory as infrastructure: why persistent context is the missing layer in every AI workflow, and how MCP makes it possible"
Part of the Changelog network which also includes The Changelog, Go Time, JS Party. Getting on one show can lead to cross-promotion on others. Very developer-oriented audience -- lead with technical substance.
Guest application form at twimlai.com/participate or email info@twimlai.com
LLM tooling, AI agents, context management in AI systems
"Persistent memory as the missing layer in AI agent architecture -- how structured context management changes what AI assistants can do"
Very technically rigorous audience. Sam asks deep questions. Prepare with technical architecture details of how Enovari's memory system works, MCP protocol details, and the broader vision of persistent AI context.
Twitter DM @swyx or email via latent.space website contact
MCP protocol discussions, AI agent tooling, memory and context management
"Building the memory layer for AI engineers -- how MCP server architecture enables persistent context that makes AI assistants actually useful over time"
Swyx coined "AI Engineer" as a role. This is THE podcast for AI infrastructure builders. The audience is exactly Enovari's target market. Swyx is very active on Twitter -- engage with his content first. He has covered MCP specifically. Perfect fit.
Twitter DM @nlaborz or email via website
AI memory, AI personalization, MCP protocol, new AI tools
"The AI memory problem nobody's talking about -- why every AI conversation starts from scratch and what the fix looks like"
Daily show format means more slots available. NLW covers AI tools and products frequently. The "AI has amnesia" framing resonates with his audience. Great for awareness.
Email lex@lexfridman.com or through MIT connections
AI agents, AI consciousness, memory and cognition
"The philosophy and engineering of AI memory -- what it means when machines remember us, and the implications for human-AI relationships"
Long shot but worth a well-crafted pitch. Lex loves deep philosophical discussions about AI. Frame Enovari's work in the broader context of AI memory, identity, and what persistent context means for human-AI interaction.
Email ai-podcast@nvidia.com or contact through NVIDIA Inception program
AI infrastructure, LLM applications, AI developer tools
NVIDIA Inception startup program membership could help get noticed. Corporate podcast but genuinely covers interesting AI startups.

AI assistants, personalization, AI infrastructure
Craig is a former NYT journalist. He appreciates well-told stories with substance. Lead with the narrative of why AI memory matters.
Email editors@thegradient.pub or Twitter DM
LLM architectures, AI tooling, memory in neural networks
"Engineering persistent memory for LLMs: the architectural decisions behind building a cross-platform AI memory layer using MCP"
Academic-leaning audience. Prepare with technical depth on memory architectures, vector search, and how Enovari's approach differs from RAG.
Email via website or Twitter DM
AI tools launches, MCP protocol coverage, AI assistants evolution
"New AI infrastructure: how persistent memory and MCP are changing what AI assistants can do -- Enovari as a case study"
News-oriented show. Time your pitch to coincide with a product launch, milestone, or relevant news about AI memory/MCP.
Twitter DM @NathanLabenz or email through website
AI agents, AI tool use, memory in AI systems
"Why persistent memory is the breakthrough that transforms AI assistants from demos to daily drivers -- and the bootstrapped founder building it"
Nathan is deeply technical and genuinely curious. He explores AI products hands-on. Offer him a demo of Enovari -- he'd likely try it live. Erik Torenberg also runs Turpentine Network which produces multiple podcasts.
Email through website contact form
AI tools reviews, practical AI workflows
"Make your AI actually remember you: how Enovari turns forgetful AI into a personalized assistant that knows your preferences, projects, and context"
Good for reaching non-technical audience who just want AI to work better.
Twitter DM @saranormous or @eaborz, or through their VC networks
AI infrastructure plays, developer tools, AI agent frameworks
"The memory infrastructure layer for AI: why persistent context is the next platform opportunity, built bootstrapped by a solo founder"
Both hosts are investors. This is higher-reach but they tend to feature funded startups. The bootstrapped angle is unusual for their show which could work in your favor as differentiation.
Email lenny@lennyrachitsky.com or through his newsletter submission
AI product building, AI tools for PMs, founder stories
"The product story of building AI memory: how persistent context transforms AI from a feature into a platform, and the solo founder journey"
Lenny is extremely selective but has been covering AI-native products. The product angle is key here -- how does Enovari think about product decisions, UX, and building for AI-native users.
Twitter DM @packym or email

# Category C: Future of Work & Productivity Podcasts These podcasts cover productivity, the future of work, and how technology transforms how we work. The "AI that remembers you" story resonates strongly here.
Email through calnewport.com or through his publisher
Cal has become more interested in AI's impact on knowledge work. If you can frame Enovari as reducing "shallow work" (re-explaining context to AI), it aligns with his philosophy.
Very selective -- through existing connections or remarkable traction
Only realistic after significant traction or a viral moment.

# Pitch Strategy & Preparation Guide
How to Pitch Podcasts Effectively
4 items1. Listen First, Pitch Second Listen to at least 3 recent episodes before pitching ANY podcast Reference a specific episode and what you learned/liked Show you understand the format, audience, and host's style This is the #1 differentiator between pitches that get responses and those that don't 2. Lead with What the Audience Gets, Not What You Want Wrong: "I'd love to promote Enovari on your show" Right: "Your audience would learn why AI memory is the missing infrastructure layer, and how MCP protocol works under the hood" Frame every pitch around value to the listener 3. Make the Host's Job Easy Provide 2-3 specific topic angles they can choose from Include a one-paragraph bio ready to copy-paste Offer a high-resolution headshot link Suggest talking points without being prescriptive 4. Be Concise Pitch email should be 150-250 words maximum Host gets dozens of pitches per week -- respect their time If you can't explain why you're interesting in 3 sentences, rethink your angle 5. Personalize Every Single Pitch Never send the same email to two podcasts Reference the podcast name at least twice Reference a specific episode Tailor the angle to their specific audience
AI-focused pods | "Every AI conversation starts from scratch. That's insane. Here's how we fixed it with persistent memory via MCP."
Developer pods | "Building cross-platform AI memory using MCP protocol, hybrid search, and structured context management."
Future/philosophy pods | "What happens when AI remembers everything about you? The implications for human-AI relationships."
Best days to send: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (8-10 AM host's local time) Worst days: Monday (inbox overload) and Friday (weekend brain) Best timing: 4-8 weeks before you want to appear (hosts book ahead) Coordinate with launches: Pitch 6-8 weeks before a Product Hunt launch, major feature release, or milestone

Day 7: First Follow-Up
Subject: Re: [Original subject line]Hi [First Name],
Just floating this back to the top of your inbox. I know you're busy
booking guests and managing [Podcast Name].
The quick version: I'm [Name], solo founder of Enovari -- persistent
AI memory via MCP. Happy to talk tech architecture, bootstrapped founder
journey, or the future of AI memory.
Would any of those angles work? Happy to jump on a 10-minute pre-call
if helpful.
[Your Name]
Day 14: Second Follow-Up
Subject: Re: [Original subject line]Hi [First Name],
Last follow-up on this -- I don't want to be a pest.
Since my last note, [mention any new development: new feature launched,
user milestone, press mention, etc.]. Thought that might add another
angle for [Podcast Name].
If the timing isn't right now, totally understand. I'll keep listening
either way.
