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

Kennan Conversations is a series of discussions and debates on Russia, its political futures, and the wider post-Soviet space. Inspired by the legacy of George F. Kennan, the show brings together scholars, analysts, and practitioners to explore history, contemporary geopolitics, and the policy choices that shape the region. Each episode examines Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia while also considering the global forces that influence them, including Europe, China, energy, climate, security, and United States foreign policy. Open to listeners of all backgrounds.
