Inclusion Bites is a platform where stories meet action, where insight sparks real change, and where authentic conversation takes centre stage. You don’t need to be a DEI specialist or a big name — if your story can inspire positive change, it belongs here.

Joanne Lockwood — Be a guest on the Inclusion Bites Podcast

Why be a guest

What you get from the conversation

Amplify your voice

Reach an engaged, global audience of HR professionals, D&I leaders, talent specialists and organisational change-makers.

An audience that acts

Inclusion Bites listeners aren’t passive — they’re doers, putting ideas to work in their own organisations.

Authentic conversation

No fluff and no surface-level chatter — a relaxed, honest exchange that does justice to your story.

The take-home

Your episode keeps working for you

Being a guest isn’t a one-off recording. You walk away with a professionally produced content pack — and a permanent, discoverable home for your story that keeps sending people your way.

Your own episode hub

A beautifully designed page on inclusionbites.co.uk, built around your conversation — audio player, your story, your links. Yours to share, and it lives there for good.

Ready-to-post quote cards

Branded graphics of your standout lines, designed for LinkedIn, Instagram and beyond — no design work on your side.

Audiograms in every format

Short, captioned video clips of your best moments in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 — sized for LinkedIn, Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Threads.

Full, searchable transcript & chapters

Every word captured and indexed — not just your title, but what you actually said. Someone searching a phrase you used finds your episode. Chapter markers let listeners jump straight to the part that matters; brilliant for accessibility and SEO.

Found by theme, topic & meaning

Your episode is tagged by theme and cross-listed across our topic hubs, and our search understands the language of inclusion — someone looking for “queer” or “neurodivergent” finds the right conversations even when those exact words aren’t in the title. New audiences keep discovering you long after release day.

Part of a living knowledge base

Inclusion Bites is more than a back-catalogue — it’s a structured, machine-readable library of lived experience. Your conversation joins 200+ others in an ecosystem that search engines, AI assistants and researchers can read and cite, so your insight keeps surfacing in places you’ll never have to pitch.

Promoted to our audience

Published with polished show notes and shared across the podcast’s own channels — then you amplify it to yours.

One honest conversation. A shelf of ready-made, on-brand assets. A home that keeps earning attention — all yours, at no cost.

How it works

From application to airwaves

01

Apply

Complete the application form below — it takes a few minutes and tells me what you’d bring.

02

Book your slot

Submit the form and you’ll get a link to book a recording slot straight into my diary — no discovery call or pre-call needed.

03

Prepare

Listen to a couple of episodes, think about your story, and find a quiet room with a mic and headset.

04

Record

We start with 15 minutes to get to know each other and run a quick tech check, then record remotely via Riverside.fm — audio and video, studio quality, from wherever you are.

05

Go live & promote

I produce and publish the episode with show notes; you help share it with your network.

What to expect

  • 15 minutes before we hit record to get to know each other and run a quick tech check
  • A relaxed, unscripted conversation — you’ll receive a loose topic guide in advance
  • A 60–90 minute recording, audio and video, via Riverside.fm
  • Polished show notes and shareable clips, with social promotion when your episode goes live
  • A full episode transcript

There’s no fee to appear — guests take part for the love of making a difference. In return, I ask that you come ready to be authentic, and happy to help promote your episode to your own network when it lands.
