This is a transcript of episode 231 of the PR Podcast (host Jody Fisher) featuring James Colistra, founder of Wonderfish. Colistra describes his transition from marketing roles at The Economist and a decade at Forbes (2014–2024) into earned-media PR focused on podcast guesting. He explains why podcasts matter (mainstream reach, long-form storytelling), differences among podcast types and audio vs. video formats, and his Podcast Power Circuit product (launched in July) that places clients on targeted shows, preps them, and repurposes episodes into social clips. He emphasizes targeting the right shows (engagement over raw listener counts), having clear calls to action, and practical prep tips (slow down, identify unique value, rehearse). The episode closes with contact details (wonderfishpr.com, LinkedIn) and a rapid-fire segment.
