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

Welcome to The Fairfax Files, a case-study interview series exploring the systemic risks threatening global business, government, and public trust. Hosted by Michael J. Hershman, a former Watergate investigator and co-founder of Transparency International, this show goes behind the headlines to dissect how vulnerabilities escalate into crises. From corporate governance failures to global fraud and government integrity, we examine what went wrong and what must change. Join us for unfiltered, high-stakes conversations where risk meets accountability.
