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
55
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

Struggling to follow local news in Zurich? You're not alone. The Beat brings you the story behind the news, unpacking the issues shaping Zurich with the journalists who know them best. Each month, hosts Katarina and Jeanne sit down with local reporters to explore what happened, why it matters, and what it reveals about the city you call home. From housing and childcare to culture, politics and technology, The Beat turns local reporting into conversations you can understand, and join.
