PodGlue

Built for the full podcast system

Interview hosts who want guest tracking working on day one, not after a weekend of setup
Shows where the follow-up after publish is the part that keeps slipping
Hosts who want booking, episode notes and the guest promo kit tied to the same guest

Notion

A flexible workspace you shape yourself

FAQ

Common comparison questions.

Is PodGlue a Notion alternative for podcast guests?

For the guest side of a show, yes. Notion can hold a guest database you build yourself. PodGlue starts with the guest system already built: profiles, appearances, follow-ups, booking pages and a guest portal.

When is Notion the better choice?

When you enjoy building your own system, when your team already lives in Notion for everything else, or when you need it to cost nothing. A free Notion database beats a tool you cannot afford yet.

Can I move my Notion guest database into PodGlue?

If you save it as a CSV file, yes. Name is the only required column, and you match the rest of your columns to PodGlue fields when you import.

Can I use Notion and PodGlue together?

Yes. Plenty of hosts keep planning docs and team wikis in Notion. The guest record, the follow-ups and the guest portal live in PodGlue.
