Codie Dog review
A free marketplace for finding, scheduling, and preparing podcast guests.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Codie Dog is a web-based marketplace for podcast hosts and expert guests. Hosts can search a guest directory by topic, category, expertise, and availability, send interview requests, and organize upcoming conversations. Guests can create profiles, publish topics and stories, manage inquiries, and set availability. The platform is designed for the full booking path, from discovering a potential guest to preparing the interview and managing related materials.
The published offering is entirely free, with a Free plan priced at $0 and no premium tiers or feature limits. That plan includes the podcast guest directory, AI topic building, AI interview preparation, show rundowns, scheduling and availability tools, notes, and file sharing. Its feature set also covers guest research briefs, interview questions, topic polishing, timed segments, talking points, guest media one-sheets, and guest and podcast recommendations. For hosts who want marketplace discovery and preparation tools without separating core features into paid levels, the single-plan structure is straightforward.
Codie Dog’s standout strength is the combination of guest discovery and interview preparation. AI-generated research briefs and questions can support preparation, while the topic builder, show rundown generation, and one-sheet tools extend beyond a basic booking directory. The interview calendar supports drag-and-drop rescheduling, recurring availability, meeting settings, automatic email notifications, and internal notes with document, image, and PDF uploads. Scheduling remains centered on the platform’s internal calendar rather than external calendar synchronization, and access is web-only. Choose Codie Dog if free guest discovery, matching, scheduling, and preparation are the priority; choose an alternative if external calendar integration or a broader platform ecosystem is essential.
