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

Phil Phails is an independent long-form conversation project hosted by Phillip Jones. Through thoughtful discussions with athletes, artists, thinkers, therapists, coaches, and everyday people, the show explores resilience, identity, endurance, philosophy, suffering, and the lifelong process of becoming. Built on curiosity rather than certainty, Phil Phails creates space for honest dialogue, reflection, and growth, with the belief that meaningful conversations can change how we understand ourselves and each other.
