Episode #48
“Punk Has Always Been for the Freaks” — An interview with Bernie Dieter at Edinburgh Fringe 2026
Sep 30, 20261h 42mS1
Bernie Dieter is the queen of punk cabaret: a Weimar-inspired performer blending original songs, burlesque, circus, satire, audience chaos, and a killer live band. JR catches up with Bernie in Edinburgh, Scotland during the Fringe Festival to talk about celebrating freaks and outsiders, writing fearless songs, turning cabaret into a rock concert, and why the music is always at the heart of the show. From Lick My Pussy and Dick Pick to devastating ballads and full-room drinking anthems, Bernie Dieter’s Club Kabaret is funny, sexy, political, vulnerable, and impossible to put in one box. This is a live, in-person Fringe interview—and an episode you should absolutely watch, not just listen to.

Visual Super Product is not just a rare guitar pedal anymore. Darrel Herbert (Toadies) solo project
Sep 2, 20261h 59m
Darrel Herbert played guitar with the Toadies during the Rubberneck era, worked with Nile Rodgers, and has now built a new solo project from the ground up: Visual Super Product. His latest album, Crazy Fast, blends sharp guitar riffs, analog synths, punk energy, pop hooks, and lyrics that dig beneath the surface.JR and Gary talk with Darrel about the rare Ibanez pedal that inspired the project’s name, his years with the Toadies, writing songs at 4 a.m., recording his own drums, and why he says, “I’m not happy unless I’m writing and writing and writing a lot.” If you love indie rock, post-punk, garage rock, synth rock, and music with a little grit, this episode is for you.www.bynhopod.com0:00 - Remembering Dolly Parton3:24 - The Rarest Guitar Pedal11:03 - Meet Visual Super Product11:59 - Darrel Herbert and the Toadies18:56 - “Come On Back”25:38 - “You’re a Ghost”30:55 - “True”38:58 - “All the Way to Today”44:31 - Interview with Darrel Herbert1:26:34 - Songwriting, Guitars, and What’s Next#VisualSuperProduct #DarrelHerbert #Toadies #PossumKingdom #CrazyFast #IndieRock #AlternativeRock #SynthRock #GuitarPedals #IbanezSK10 #NewMusic #MusicDiscovery #BandsYouveNeverHeardOf #BYNHOPod

Dallas Wax: Southern Boys in Brooklyn, a Shovel Drag at Midnight, and a Song Nobody's Heard Yet Episode 43
Jun 17, 20261h 55m
We started this one differently. No theme song. No intro. Just the video for "Desert Moon" — dark, shot in a Savannah swamp at midnight with one light on the back of a truck. That's your introduction to Dallas Wax. Ryan Dallas Wax (yes, that's his real name) moved from Peachtree City, Georgia to New York City, found four other Southern guys who'd all ended up there, and formed a five-piece band playing punk-soaked psychedelic blues rock that Gary compared to Billy Idol stumbling into a Sturgill Simpson record. They've been on tour. They just booked Austin City Limits Festival. Their debut album Metanoia drops June 19th. And they sent us the first track — "Bluff" — a week early. His mom called the Burt Show. He showed up late. He had no shoes on. It was a great time.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
