No .uk domain and no region in the feed language. Apple reports the storefront, not the show, so we do not guess.
Reach
98
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.

What the show says about itself

It started with a coronavirus crisis. We thought people might need something to do in lieu of fun. And some people might need someone to yap at them as they go through this. We have a lot of cool friends. So we started a show. Then the crisis ended. But by then I was wearing dog shirts every day. And the the rest was the rest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
