How to promote a podcast on Instagram with theme pages

These pages offer access to large, targeted audiences interested in specific subjects. That made them a strong fit for podcast promotion. Here’s how to approach promoting your podcast using these Instagram pages, what to prepare, and how to match your campaign to the right audience.

How a shoutout for podcasts works

A podcast shoutout on a theme page means the page posts your creative, an image, video, or carousel, at a time you agree on. You supply the creative, the caption, and the link you want people to visit (such as your podcast’s listening page or app listing). The page then publishes the post in the agreed format.

Formats available across the pages that suit podcasts include:

• Feed posts: Appear in the page’s main grid. 764 pages take 24-hour feed posts and 829 take permanent posts. You can agree on how long the post stays up.
• Stories: 284 pages take stories, which last 24 hours and can include a link sticker for direct access to your podcast.
• Reposts: 215 pages can share your existing Instagram post with their followers.
• Collab posts: 118 pages can publish a post that appears on both your grid and theirs.
• Link in bio: 140 pages can place your link in their Instagram bio for the time you agree.

Stories are often chosen for direct links, while feed posts are used for longer visibility. You can discuss the best format for your podcast’s goals with the team after you shortlist pages.

Choosing pages by audience

Matching your podcast to the right audience is key. The pages that suit podcasts have detailed audience breakdowns:

• Country: Of 1,002 pages with country data, 911 have their largest share of followers in the United States. India is the top country for 64, Brazil for 6. The United States is the median largest share at 38%. India, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Nigeria, and Brazil are also frequently among the top five audience countries.
• Gender: Of 999 pages with gender data, the median share of women is 36%. 210 pages have 60% or more women, and 549 have 60% or more men.
• Age: Of 939 pages with age data, 590 have 25-34 as the largest age group, 164 have 18-24, and 144 have 35-44.

When you search the network, you can filter for audience country, minimum follower size, age skew, and gender skew. This helps you find pages whose audience matches your podcast’s target listeners.

Pages to start with

Here are some of the largest pages in each niche that suits podcasts:

• @millionaire_mentor (10.1 million followers, business)
• @mindset.therapy (11.3 million followers, motivation)
• @worldstar (43.7 million followers, entertainment)
• @chorus (6.5 million followers, news)
• @comedyslam (10.5 million followers, comedy)
• @words_worth_billions (6.7 million followers, business)

While these pages have large followings, it’s important to match a page to your podcast’s topic, audience country, age group, and gender profile, rather than choosing only by size.

What to prepare before booking

Before booking a podcast shoutout, prepare:

• The creative (image, video, or carousel) sized for Instagram
• The caption text (no clickable links in captions)
• The link you want included (for stories or bio)
• The dates and times you want the post to go live
• The formats you are interested in (feed post, story, repost, collab post, link in bio)

You’ll discuss the details and agree on the final plan with the team, as prices and formats vary by page and placement.
