The feed says "en" without a region, so the country is unknown.

Where it's from

Not established

No .uk domain and no region in the feed language. Apple reports the storefront, not the show, so we do not guess.

Reach

68

Percentile among shows you could realistically get on. Not a download count.

Check whether they charge. Some shows sell guest slots rather than booking them, and rates in some fields run to thousands. Nothing in a podcast feed reliably says so, so we do not claim either way. Ask before you write the pitch.

Worth a pitch. This show publishes its own contact, sits outside the national chart, is independently published, and its recent episodes show it books guests.

This show features a guest in almost every episode. That is rare in Lifestyle, and it makes this one of the more realistic bookings in the field.

What the show says about itself

When a baby is born, a parent is born too. But what if that's more than a metaphor? Birth of a Parent explores the emerging science of how parenthood transforms the human mind. Host Michael Feigelson speaks with leading scientists, writers, and thinkers to investigate whether becoming a parent is one of life's most profound – and least understood – developmental stages.
