Podcast Recruitment Email

Need a template email to send to podcast owners asking if they're interested in joining our network.
Survey: http://goo.gl/forms/e8s3isnJSkPbYFOl2
Just need to write the email
Closing. I've sent some emails already but Im trying to personalize them, so one global email isn't exactly going to work. Here's a few examples of the ones I've sent...
Jonathan,
I've been listening to developer tea for months now, and I'm finally getting around to contacting you (because I finally found something worth writing you about). Your podcast has helped me grow as a developer and I was wanting to find a way to share it with others. That being said, people don't openly talk about podcasts as much as they do Game of Thrones or Orange is the new black, but I believe that's because they don't have a good medium for podcasts, like they do TV, Music, or Movies. Anyways, I'll cut to the chase - I've been working on an application that's essentially a social network built around podcasts. The goal is two-fold, connecting people with new podcasts, and connecting people to new people interested in similar podcasts.
We're still in a very early development stage, and hoping to launch an MVP by the end of the year, and I'm reaching out to you because (Given how influential your podcast has been to me) I'd be honored to have your podcast on the site during the initial launch. I'm happy to provide more information about the project, and hope to have your blessing to be listed soon!
Please feel free to reach out!

Craig (or anyone else it may concern),
I've been listening to the Cognicast for a few months now, after someone pointed it out to me while I was talking about a project I was working on. The project is simple, a social network built around podcasts. It's objective is two-fold. Connect people with new podcasts, and connect people with other people interested in the same podcasts. We're still in the early development stage, and are racing towards building an MVP, but the dev team is small and we're focusing on this as a hobby and a tool we'd like to use, more than a business.
Anyways, I'm reaching out to you today to hopefully get your blessing to list the Cognicast on our website for our initial launch. We're hoping to have a collection of great content for the initial launch and I think you guys would be a perfect fit.
The reasons I think it's relevant:
Drive more Traffic to Cognicast and Congitech
View and learn from comments posted by real users regarding Cognicast
Leverage a social network (we've all seen how powerful it is) to get more people interested in Cognicast, Clojure, and Cognitech in general.
Selfish Reasons I'm reaching out to you:
After hearing Rich Hickey's talk on building a better alternative to Java, I've been turned onto Clojure and it's my de facto standard for development.
I've learned so much from the Cognicast in the past few months and think It would be a shame to not have one of my favorite podcasts listed on the product I'm working on.
If you could email me back or fill out this form (http://goo.gl/forms/S46E2ueC5ez9POUS2), I'd love to list you on the site - but I only want to do this with your permission.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this email,
