Reach

82

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.

How this show compares to other culture & arts podcasts

Guests appear here occasionally rather than weekly, though still more than the Culture & Arts average. Worth a pitch, with patience.

Measured against every culture & arts podcast in the directory that has published in the last year.
