Your questions, answered.
What does my payment support?
Your fee covers podcast matching, interview preparation, scheduling, and recording for the appearances in your selected package, subject to approval. 15% of each package payment goes to the UPN Foundation to support its work helping less fortunate children around the world. That is US$15 from Package 1, US$40.50 from Package 2, and US$63.75 from Package 3, included in the package price. Audience size, leads, and sales are not guaranteed.
How do I become a guest?
Explore the catalog, choose a podcast, and prepare your application. Daniel reviews the topic and show fit before confirming an appearance and applicable terms.
Are all 30 podcasts accepting guests?
The directory contains 30 published UPN shows. Guest availability has not been confirmed for every show. A request is an expression of interest, not a confirmed invitation.
How much does a guest appearance cost?
Choose from five, three, or one guest interview. Each package has a dedicated PayPal payment link. Review its amount and currency on PayPal, and confirm show suitability and written terms with Daniel before paying.
When can I book my interview?
Scheduling instructions are provided after topic approval and verification of your PayPal payment. Daniel manually verifies payment; the guest portal displays scheduling access after your application is approved and payment is marked verified.
Is payment handled by Koalendar?
Payments use the dedicated PayPal link for your selected package. Koalendar is used for scheduling, not as the payment checkout. Daniel verifies payment before providing scheduling instructions.
Is audience reach guaranteed?
No. An appearance does not guarantee downloads, followers, sales, rankings, or specific audience results.
Can I choose more than one podcast?
You may discuss multiple shows with Daniel. Availability, suitability, and any additional scope must be confirmed in writing.
How can I ask a question?
