Be a guest

Tell us your Sarasota story.

We book people, not pitches. If you're building, leading, fixing or shaking something up in Sarasota, we want to hear about it. Every application is read by a host, and if it's a fit, we'll send you a private link to pick a recording slot.

How it works

Four steps

1. Apply

Fill out the form. Five minutes, tops. The more specific your story, the faster we can say yes.

2. We read it

A host, not a bot, not an intern, reads every application. We reply to everyone, usually within a week.

3. Pick a slot

If it's a fit, you'll get a private scheduling link by email. Recording is in our Sarasota studio, about 45 minutes, casual, one take.

4. We do the rest

We edit, publish to YouTube and every podcast app, cut the clips, and tag you in everything. You show up and talk.

What we're looking for. A story with an arc: a turn, a fight, a comeback, a thing nobody else in town is doing. Business owners, nonprofit leaders, athletes, artists, public servants, characters. A Sarasota connection is required; a big following is a bonus, not a requirement.

What we're not. An infomercial. Guests plug their business, that's part of the story, but the conversation is the point. If what you're after is a paid placement or an ad read, see sponsorship, that's a different chair.

How did you hear about SpeaX?

If a past guest referred you, who?

I understand the hosts choose the guests and write the questions, and that applying doesn't guarantee an episode. *
