Reach

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

The Shaping Opinion podcast helps you see through the spin. It reveals things you may not know, and it exposes other things some may want to keep hidden. Its focus is on how your thoughts and attitudes are influenced to create change in the culture, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Host Tim O’Brien – author, senior media advisor and veteran damage control expert – empowers you with a fresh perspective. He comfortably takes you inside trending issues, stories and to the people who unravel it all through deep-dive conversations. After decades in handling high stakes and complex crisis

Common questions

Does Shaping Opinion 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 Shaping Opinion?

Yes. Shaping Opinion 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 Shaping Opinion publish?

It has not published in a long time, so there is no current schedule. There are 127 episodes in the feed. Episodes run about 60 minutes.

Is Shaping Opinion still active?

Yes. It has published within the last year.
