Verified Podcast Guests is a directory of African subject-matter experts available to be booked for podcast, interview, and panel work. It is operated by Nameless Company out of Berlin and Lagos.
The platform exists because the supply of African expertise is much larger than the supply of African voices on global podcasts and broadcasts. Hosts have always struggled to find credible guests outside their personal network. Experts have always struggled to be discovered for their actual work rather than for who introduces them. Both problems are solved by a credentialled, curated directory with a clear way to book and a clear way to be paid.
The seal
Every verified profile shows the dossier — exactly which credentials were checked, when, and how. Read the full method on What “verified” means.
The take
The marketplace is free on both sides until money changes hands. When a booking is funded and released, the platform takes 15% — the same rate as a New York booking agency, with the verification and escrow that an agency can't guarantee. Pricing details.
