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

<p>Every skyline, subdivision, and strip mall in this country started the same way: somebody bought dirt nobody wanted and bet they knew something the market didn&apos;t yet. This show is the real history of American real estate, told through the deals, the fights, and the forgotten names behind the ground you&apos;re standing on right now.</p><p>We&apos;re not here for the textbook version. No dry timelines, no "and then the railroad came through." We dig into the actual dirt: the land grabs, the zoning wars, the busted deals and the quiet fortunes, the operators who saw a swamp or a cornfiel
