If you’re wondering how to get on the Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch podcast, you’re really asking two questions: who does this show invite on and how can I position myself as a great fit?
Before we dive in, a quick reality check: Talk Tuah hasn’t published a new episode since May 2025, which means your chances of appearing on the show right now are fairly low.
But, let's use it as a useful example.
In this article, we’ll use Talk Tuah as a real-world demo to show how Rephonic’s People tab and Related Podcasts section help you identify past guests, spot the patterns and uncover podcasts that share a similar audience.
Even if Talk Tuah itself isn’t an option, this walkthrough gives you a repeatable process you can use to research any podcast.
Table of Contents
What did Talk Tuah podcast guests have in common?
First, let's find Rephonic's page for the Talk Tuah podcast and open the People tab.
Straightaway, the Guest Profile section tells us that most Talk Tuah guests come from the entertainment industry—musicians, comedians, influencers and athletes.
But when we look at individual episodes, we see more information:
- Guest's name and occupation
- A category designation
- Episode name and link
- The episode's focus and relevance.
Comparing this information brings out more insights into what Talk Tuah guests have in common.
- Guests are on an upward curve. Phrases like 'rising star', 'transition to country music', 'new single', 'latest songs' and 'known for' signal that many Talk Tuah guests are newer celebrities who want to promote and capitalize on their momentum. In other words, Haliey Welch favors guests with current traction over legacy names.
- They often mirror Haliey's own story. I noticed the connection through phrases like 'background as a social media influencer', 'cancel culture', 'celebrity status', 'pressures of public life'. These seem relatable to Haliey's experiences after her own unprecedented viral moment.
- Their stories can sustain a whole episode. Guests' careers, backgrounds and experiences give them stories to fill the conversation, rather than answering a few questions.
How to spot guest patterns using the People tab
When reviewing Rephonic's People tab, scan for signals rather than focusing on individual names. Check things like:
- Industries and categories
Look at the guest genres and roles. Are they clustered around entertainment, business, education, or a specific niche? Repeated categories usually point to the show’s true focus. Also check who isn't there. For example, we don't see academics, politicians, CEOs or entrepreneurs. 🤔Does your career or background fit the cluster? - Career stage
Are most guests described as rising, breakout, or gaining attention? Such language may signal a preference for guests with current momentum. 🤔Does your career stage or level fit into the podcast's preference? - Experience level
Are the guests already comfortable on camera or behind a mic? Or does the host seem willing to take a chance on people with less public speaking experience? 🤔How confident are you when speaking on camera or in front of an audience? - Narrative hooks
Each guest should have a logical reason for appearing on the show and be relevant to that podcast audience. 🤔What stories can you share and why would they matter to these listeners? - Alignment with the host’s journey
Compare guest backgrounds with the host’s own story. Shared experiences may influence who gets invited. 🤔Do you have something in common with the host? - Interview style
