No .uk domain and no region in the feed language. Apple reports the storefront, not the show, so we do not guess.
Reach
81
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 other podcasts

On every measure we hold, this show sits close to the middle of its category. That is not a criticism: an ordinary show with a real audience and a published contact is exactly what a first booking usually looks like.

Measured against every other podcast in the directory that has published in the last year.

Reach is a percentile among shows you could realistically get booked on, built from chart history, longevity, activity and cadence. It is not a download figure. Nobody outside a show can see those.

What the show says about itself

What really happens when you quit drinking? The Sober New Yorker is a sobriety podcast about alcohol addiction, quitting drinking, recovery, and the real lives people build without alcohol. Hosted by sober coach Melissa McGovern, each episode goes beyond the highlight reel to explore what drinking actually looked like, when people began questioning their relationship with alcohol, what finally made them change, and what happened after they got sober.
