# 🎧Why Can't I Find a Podcast When I Search for It?

## ✅ Possible Reasons a Podcast Doesn’t Appear

## 1. We Don’t Have Their Email Yet

If a podcast’s email address isn’t publicly available or verified in our database, it may not appear in search results.  
​_(We’re constantly updating and expanding our data.)_

---

## 2. Topic or Category Is Filtered Out

Some niche or religious categories (e.g., church-related podcasts) may be excluded from search results to prevent mismatches.

---

## 3. The Podcast Doesn’t Take Guest Interviews

If a show indicates that it **never** accepts external guests, PodPitch automatically excludes it so you don’t waste time pitching.

---

## 4. Fewer Than 10 Episodes

We prioritize more established podcasts. Shows with fewer than 10 episodes are often filtered out because they are considered inactive or too new.

---

## 5. No Recent Episodes

If a podcast hasn’t released an episode in **90+ days**, it is treated as inactive and removed from search visibility.

## ❓ Still can’t find the podcast?

Send us the podcast name, link, and any details you have. We’ll check whether it can be added or why it’s excluded.
