## Step 4: When Host Emails Become Available

Podcast host email addresses are protected until engagement occurs.

Here’s how it works:

* **Before pitching:** Contact details remain private
* **After pitching:** PodPitch sends the email on your behalf
* **After a reply:** The host’s email becomes visible in your inbox

This approach protects host privacy while allowing direct communication once they respond.
