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

How this show compares to other tech general podcasts

Interviews run alongside other formats here, more often than most Tech General shows, so a guest slot is a normal part of the schedule.

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

When it comes to blockchain, the thing people talk about most — the price — is actually the least interesting part. Crypto conversations are too often about who’s up and who’s down, what to buy and what to sell, and today’s drama on Twitter. Most conversations about crypto miss how it’s going to change ... everything. On VALIDATED, we’ll be talking to the people who are rethinking the internet — and our world. No hype cycles. No financial advice. Just conversations on the biggest ideas shaping the future of the internet. Web3 is complicated, but never boring.

It publishes about once a month. There are 178 episodes in the feed. Episodes run about 45 minutes.

Is Validated still active?
