Inclusion Bites Podcast
Be a guest on Inclusion Bites
Ready to share your story and inspire change? 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.
Why be a guest
- 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, just a relaxed, honest exchange that does justice to your story.
Who should be a guest? It could be you
- Lived-experience storytellers — people who can speak, first-hand, about identity, belonging or exclusion, and what it taught them.
- Passionate advocates for change — those driving inclusion forward in their organisation, sector or community.
- Thought leaders & innovators — practitioners, researchers and writers with original thinking on culture and inclusion.
- Inspirational communicators — people whose story and delivery can move an audience from awareness to action.
How it works, from application to airwaves

There's no fee to appear — guests take part for the love of making a difference. In return, we ask that you come ready to be authentic, and happy to help promote your episode to your own network when it lands. By applying you agree to our guest participation terms and expectations.
