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
23
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

Common questions

Does Distant Yarnings 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 Distant Yarnings?

Yes. Distant Yarnings 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 Distant Yarnings publish?

It has not published in a long time, so there is no current schedule. There are 9 episodes in the feed. Episodes run about 68 minutes.

Is Distant Yarnings still active?
