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

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 marketing & media podcasts

On every measure we hold, this show sits close to the middle of its category. That is not a criticism: an ordinary show with a real audience and a published contact is exactly what a first booking usually looks like.

Common questions

Does Buffering accept guests?

Sometimes has guests. Interviews appear alongside other formats. This is our reading of the show's recent episode titles, not a statement from the show itself.

How do I contact Buffering?

Yes. Buffering 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 Buffering publish?

It publishes at least once a week. There are 129 episodes in the feed. Episodes run about 40 minutes.

Is Buffering still active?

Yes. It has published within the last 90 days.
