Jenna Bentley of the Goldwater Institute is back with Chris Clements and Sean Noble — and there is plenty to rant about. The Republican Party is holding its first-ever midterm convention, and we have a pretty basic question: Why? With control of Congress on the line, we debate whether that money, time and political energy would be better spent in competitive races across the country. Then there’s President Trump’s inexplicable surprise promise of a $5,000 “Trump Dividend.” We have some questions about that, too. And, naturally, we talk sports. Baseball is heading toward October, football is back, and the rivalry at the table is unavoidable: Jenna is a devoted Red Sox fan sitting across from two lifelong Dodgers fans. Chris and Sean are particularly happy after finally watching the Dodgers put together a complete game the night before against the hapless Cincinnati Reds. Jenna counters with Boston, and then it’s on to football and her beloved New England Patriots as another NFL season gets underway. Then we remember. Twenty-five years after 9/11. One year after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Chris reflects on Charlie’s legacy and the unique role he played in bringing together different parts of the conservative movement through his personality, relationships and increasingly public Christian faith. Long before Turning Point USA became a national force, Charlie’s approach could be captured by one simple image: a table on a college campus and a sign reading “PROVE ME WRONG.” Sit down. Talk. Debate. Engage. Jenna also previews the Goldwater Institute’s 2026 Freedom Gala on October 23 at the Arizona Biltmore, featuring special guest Adam Carolla. That sends us down another memory lane: Carolla’s years alongside Dr. Drew Pinsky on Loveline, the late-night KROQ institution that became nationally syndicated and eventually spawned an MTV show. For those of us who listened to Adam and Dr. Drew back then, his later evolution into a prominent libertarian-leaning cultural and political commentator makes for an interesting trajectory. We talk about the journey from Loveline and The Man Show to podcasting, free-speech advocacy and his place today in the broader liberty-oriented media world. Finally, Jenna outlines the Goldwater Institute’s current priorities and its work on economic competitiveness, consumer choice, individual liberty and limited government. Politics. Policy. Sports. Remembrance. And a healthy amount of ranting. #LightBeerDarkMoney #GoldwaterInstitute #JennaBentley #AdamCarolla #Loveline #DrDrew #CharlieKirk #NeverForget #September11 #Dodgers #RedSox #Patriots #Arizona #Faith #Freedom #FreeEnterprise #PrattPodcasting Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

The questions surrounding Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs and the Sunshine Residential pay-to-play controversy are back — and Chris and Sean dig into the new evidence raising even more questions about what happened inside the Hobbs administration. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes declined to bring bribery charges after a two-year investigation, but new testimony from former Department of Child Safety officials is putting the controversy right back in the spotlight. A former DCS deputy has backed claims that Sunshine Residential used its political connections to push for higher state payments after the company and people connected to it made major contributions benefiting Hobbs, the Arizona Democratic Party, her inaugural fund and her legal defense fund. And there is another transparency problem: Hobbs still refuses to disclose who donated to that legal defense fund. Chris and Sean break down what we know, what investigators concluded, what questions remain unanswered — and why this story could matter in the increasingly nasty Katie Hobbs vs. Andy Biggs race for Arizona governor. Then they turn to the war of attack ads between Hobbs and Biggs over protecting women and children. Hobbs is attacking Biggs over his actions involving Colorado City and the Warren Jeffs-era abuses, while Biggs is firing back by highlighting several bills aimed at sex offenders and sexually explicit material that Hobbs vetoed as governor. Plus: • The Lindsay Clancy murder trial, where a deadlocked jury is wrestling with one of the most difficult questions in criminal law: mental illness, criminal responsibility and postpartum psychosis. • The latest in the Tyler Robinson case involving the killing of Charlie Kirk, after a Utah judge ruled Robinson will stand trial and could face the death penalty if convicted. • A new Arizona Attorney General investigation into three candidates accused of improperly obtaining millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded Clean Elections money, including allegations involving questionable $5 qualifying contributions. Arizona politics, campaign money, accountability, criminal trials and a governor’s race that is getting uglier by the day. All this and more on the latest episode of Light Beer Dark Money with Chris and Sean. #KatieHobbs #AndyBiggs #PrattPodcasting Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

Katie Hobbs has declined to debate Andy Biggs, and Sean and Chris think that decision raises a bigger question about what voters should expect from candidates asking to lead the state. After watching Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Republican challenger Alexander Kolodin actually sit down together on Arizona PBS, they turn to the governor’s race and ask why Arizona voters won’t get the same opportunity. They also get into the campaign money surrounding Hobbs and why Sean argues she is “hiding behind dark money” rather than facing Biggs on a debate stage. Plus, why more film production is leaving Southern California, what California’s tax climate could mean for Hollywood, dramatic flooding footage from Nepal, and some baseball talk about the Diamondbacks, Dodgers and the difficulty of keeping an aging championship roster together. #KatieHobbs #AndyBiggs #AdrianFontes #AlexanderKolodin #PrattPodcasting Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

Jay Feely joins The Big Show with Chris and Sean to discuss his campaign for Congress in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District—and why he believes he’s the right person to represent one of the most competitive districts in the country. Jay talks about the realities of campaigning door to door, his vision for Arizona, and his commitment to being a congressman for everyone in the district, not simply those who vote for him. The conversation covers the issues weighing most heavily on voters, including affordability, economic pressures, and the war with Iran. Then things get considerably lighter. A former Michigan Wolverine, Jay joins Chris and Sean for a spirited discussion about their shared love of college football—including the coaching and grading scandals surrounding the University of Michigan and why Michigan itself has become such a political hot button this election cycle. It’s a wide-ranging, informative and genuinely fun conversation about public service, politics, football and the campaign trail with the man who hopes to become the next congressman from the great state of Arizona. #JayFeely #Arizona #AZ01 #Congress #CollegeFootball #Michigan #Iran #Affordability #Faith #Freedom #FreeEnterprise #PrattPodcasting Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

Sean and Chris are bullish on AI. But as opposition to data centers starts spreading into Republican politics, they think conservatives are risking something much bigger than a fight over local development. They break down why data centers have suddenly become an election issue, the jobs and economic activity behind America’s AI buildout, and why Republicans need to decide whether they still want to defend free enterprise when the politics get uncomfortable. They also get into whether socialism can be reconciled with Christianity, Hasan Piker and the contradictions of anti-capitalist politics, California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax, the Trump administration’s new economic pressure campaign against Iran, the fight over Trump’s White House ballroom, and the Lindsay Clancy case and the difficult questions surrounding postpartum psychosis, responsibility and support for new mothers. #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters #DonaldTrump #HasanPiker #PrattPodcasting Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

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.

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?
