What slows down guest booking
Ten emails to book one guest
Guests are busy. One link with your open recording times gets a yes faster than a thread of "does Tuesday work?"
Guests in other time zones
Your booking page shows each guest the slots in their own time zone, so nobody joins an hour early.
Missing bio and talking points
Ask for their bio, links and topics in the booking form, so your prep and show notes are half done.

Questions from podcasters
Do guests need a TidyCal account?
No. Guests open your link, pick a time and enter their name and email. There is nothing to sign up for.
Can a guest bring a co-guest?
Yes. Guest invites let the person booking add other people to the calendar invite.
Can I use my own recording studio link?
Yes. Set the location of the booking type to your studio link and every guest gets it in their confirmation. Auto-created Zoom, Google Meet and Teams links are on the Lifetime and Pro plans.

Yes. Guest booking with intake questions, time zone handling and email reminders works on the Free plan.
