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
25
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.

Common questions

Does Rule-Breakers 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 Rule-Breakers?

Yes. Rule-Breakers 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 Rule-Breakers publish?

It has not published in a long time, so there is no current schedule. There are 15 episodes in the feed. Episodes run about 59 minutes.

Is Rule-Breakers still active?

Yes. It has published within the last year.
