How can I find volunteers to be guests on a radio show?

Question

My friend hosts a local weekly radio talk show. He's looking for volunteers to be guests on his show (he doesn't get paid, so he can't pay his guests). He usually doesn't have a problem lining up guests, but for this topic, he asked for help.

He's looking for recent college graduates to tell their stories about their experiences in the job market. He tried the local college alumni association, I tried Craigslist, and both of us have asked people we know to tell their friends.

Do any of you have any ideas worth trying?

Answer 1

He should mention that he is looking for people to be guests on his show.  Having somebody that is already familiar with the program will always be a plus to keep things moving smoothly.

He also might try to contact the "placement office" at any of your local colleges or universities.  They will be able to point him in the right direction to find the type of graduate he is looking for to find out about people moving from college to the workplace.

I hope this helps a little, if you ever have any other "radio" questions feel free to shoot me an email, and I would be happy to help you out.

P.S.  Most people that appear on radio talk shows are not paid for their appearance.  They usually have something to promote, so being on a talk program is like having a big commercial on that radio station for free!
