Madagascar Travel Podcast with Hery Rakoto is a slow, place-based guide to the world's fourth-largest island. Travelling here means moving between a narrow coastal plain, a central high plateau and an arid south, while hearing Malagasy and French in daily use. The island's isolation has produced species that exist nowhere else, and its rivers and roads carry their own rhythms. Early episodes keep a base in Antananarivo, the capital on the high plateau. Later the host moves east to Toamasina, the country's main port, then south to the spiny forest country around Toliara and inland to Fianarantsoa, the highland town known for its surrounding rice terraces. The show unfolds across dry-season months and wet-season months, returning to the same highland towns and eastern coastline. Each visit adds a layer; a market becomes recognisable, a route through the hills becomes familiar. Over two years the podcast accumulates the kind of knowledge that comes from living somewhere, not passing through. Hery Rakoto lives in Madagascar and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Hery is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. Part of Paris2Tokyo — one show for each of the world's hundred most-visited countries. Made for travelers, wherever you are going next. #Madagascar #MadagascarTravel #EastAfrica #Antananarivo #TravelPodcast #Travel #Paris2Tokyo https://www.paris2tokyo.com/podcasts/madagascar/

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.
