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

Cliff Brake and Khem Raj dig into BSPs, OTA updates, Linux kernel and device tree work, firmware and RTOS development, build systems (BitBake, Kas), and the editor/CLI tools embedded engineers actually use day to day.
