Reach

98

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

Episodes are short by News & Politics standards, so a tight single angle will land better than a broad one.

Measured against every news & politics podcast in the directory that has published in the last year.
