No .uk domain and no region in the feed language. Apple reports the storefront, not the show, so we do not guess.
Reach
36
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.

How this show compares to other health & wellness podcasts

It publishes less often than most Health & Wellness shows, so expect a longer lead time and fewer available slots.

What the show says about itself

Breakthroughs is a podcast about groundbreaking research and the scientists leading these discoveries at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. We are driven by our mission to transform the practice of medicine and profoundly impact human health beyond the individual patient. We believe better answers only come from discovery.

Common questions

Does Breakthroughs accept guests?

Often has guests. This show interviews people regularly. This is our reading of the show's recent episode titles, not a statement from the show itself.

How do I contact Breakthroughs?

Yes. Breakthroughs publishes a contact address in its own RSS feed, and it is the show's own inbox rather than a shared network desk. We hold it and release it to people on a plan. We never invent an address and never send a pitch on your behalf.

How often does Breakthroughs publish?

It has not published in a long time, so there is no current schedule. There are 100 episodes in the feed. Episodes run about 21 minutes.

Is Breakthroughs still active?

Yes. It has published within the last year.
