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
95
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 news & politics podcasts
