Can No Longer Send Links to Podcast Guests

I am disappointed to see I can no longer simply send a link for a guest to use to join my podcast for an interview.  I have to have an email address.  Plus the guest has to create an account with the email address.  I'm interviewing guests that don't need these additional steps.  This will make it harder and less likely guests will want to jump through hoops to talk to me.  Please return the send link feature.
