There have been a few podcasts where I honestly wished I had spoken to the guests beforehand to ensure they were engaging and entertaining speakers. It requires a lot of work to plan, schedule, record, edit, publish, and promote each podcast. It’s often why I’m behind on my own.
Martech Zone is my primary property that I maintain, but Martech Zone Interviews helps me to keep working on how well I speak publicly, connect with influencers and people I respect in my industry, and feed a portion of my audience that appreciates audio over text—something that no business should underestimate.
Telbee Voice Messaging
Telbee is a voice messaging platform that you can deploy to capture voice messages from future guests or listeners of your podcast. The platform has a few different options, such as the ability to build a destination page that you can share, a widget that you can embed in any page, or a talk button that you can add to any site via script.
I set up a voice messaging popup for Martech Zone Interviews within a few minutes using their free platform. The paid version has several more customization features, but I thought I’d test it. If you’re reading this via email or RSS, click through to the article, and you can test it by leaving me a message.
Telbee Scenarios for Podcasting
Here are some great scenarios that Telbee has illustrated for use with podcasting:

- Grow your audience—Engage across social media
and encourage sharing: Invite your followers to contribute to your podcast via any social media platform and show them how much others get! Hear the WOW moment when you reply—People love it when you respond, and it’s really quick and personal by voice. Then, they’ll want to share what you’re doing and help grow your community.
- Save time and frustration on content creation and typing – Planning, recording interviews, and producing episodes is all hard work. So replace typing with talking – it’s easier and faster! And cut back on the scheduling. Use Telbee to communicate by voice with your team and collaborators. And if you forgot that question, need a retake, can’t make the diaries work, or even just want to make everyone’s life easier, use Telbee to record your guests! With professional tools for uploading audio, bitrate selection, and split screen to share questions.
