No .uk domain and no region in the feed language. Apple reports the storefront, not the show, so we do not guess.
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.

Common questions

Does The Creative Writer's Toolbelt accept guests?

Often has guests. This show interviews people regularly. This is our reading of the show's recent episode titles, not a statement from the show itself.

How do I contact The Creative Writer's Toolbelt?

Yes. The Creative Writer's Toolbelt 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 The Creative Writer's Toolbelt publish?

It has not published in a long time, so there is no current schedule. There are 182 episodes in the feed. Episodes run about 48 minutes.

Is The Creative Writer's Toolbelt still active?

Probably not. The most recent episode we can see is over a year old, which usually means the show has stopped. Roughly a third of podcasts end this way without announcing it.

Similar shows you could pitch

Same category, publishing their own contact, and still active. If this show is not the right fit, one of these may be.
