Language

English

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

97

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 other podcasts

Episodes run noticeably longer than the comparable average, so prepare for a conversation rather than a short segment.

Measured against every other podcast in the directory that has published in the last year.

	This show	Category average
Episodes featuring a guest	20%	18%
Episodes in the last 90 days	16	7
Typical episode length	168 min	33 min
Episodes published in total	500	100
Reach percentile	97	50

Reach is a percentile among shows you could realistically get booked on, built from chart history, longevity, activity and cadence. It is not a download figure. Nobody outside a show can see those.

Common questions

Does CORE 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 CORE?

Yes. CORE 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 CORE publish?

It publishes at least once a week. There are 500 episodes in the feed. Episodes run about 168 minutes.

Is CORE still active?

Yes. It has published within the last 90 days.
