Few tales of shipwreck and survival can rival that of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, a 16th-century Spaniard who found himself cast ashore near Tampa Bay, Florida, in 1528. Over the next eight years, he endured a hand-to-mouth existence among the Native Americans of the South and Southwest, ultimately traversing the plains on foot to reach the Pacific Coast and arriving in Mexico in 1536. In 1542, Cabeza de Vaca published an account of his remarkable adventures, and this reading draws from Fanny Bandelier‚s English translation of that work. Alongside three other survivors‚two Spaniards and a North African slave named Estvanico‚Cabeza de Vaca faced unimaginable hardships. Initially enslaved by the Indians and forced to dig for food, he quickly adapted, becoming a trader who exchanged coastal goods for essential supplies from inland tribes. Trade suited me well,‚ he reflected, as it granted him the freedom to roam. His reputation grew as a healer, allowing him to barter his medical skills for food from the tribes, who were often short on provisions. The survivors overland journey, marked by their understanding of Native customs, saw them welcomed by various tribes, each stop solidifying their bonds with the locals. After eight long years, Cabeza de Vaca struggled to readjust to Spanish civilization, recounting how he found it difficult to wear clothing and sleep on a proper bed. His first-person narrative is a thrilling account of survival against all odds. (Introduction by Sue Anderson)

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.
