Episode #33
Send us Fan Mail In this week’s Deep Dive, the besties have MANY opinions on Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl: Encore . We’re breaking down what we like, what we don’t, and what really isn’t doing it for us. Support the show
Episode #33
Send us Fan Mail Anyone ever wake up to find they’ve been gaslit by a king? Charles Spencer, apparently. Princess Diana’s younger brother has released Swan Song: Diana, My Sister , and his press tour is putting King Charles in quite a tizzy. The Besties break down the royal drama on this week’s Popculture Potluck. We also talk about Meghan’s Mom Chat leak (is nothing sacred over there?). In non-royal news, we welcome the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City back to our screens, discuss the new Traitors cast announcement, and the Netflix drama The Beast in Me . We finish up by once again discussing Mary Beth Barone’s newest controversial connection (hint: William Bowery), and, speaking of Joe Alwyn, we also discuss why he is famous and her cringey performance at Sunday’s Chiefs game. We end with Emily catching us up on where she is with her RHONY rewatch. Support the show
Episode #32
Send us Fan Mail This week on Midwest Besties, we’re doing a major recap of the Emmys, and talk Sydney Sweeney’s horrifying sports ad. We discuss how Amanda Hirsch will do anything for a paycheck, including a Polymarket ad about the Lindsay Clancy trial. We also check in on The Toast and they are still as awful and unfunny as ever. In happier news, we celebrate that Lady Gaga is officially a mom, and catch up on the latest British Royal Family antics from Harry and Meghan. Support the show
Episode #31
Send us Fan Mail Listening to a podcast episode about two white ladies’ love of Ina Garten? How easy is THAT?! On this week’s Popculture Potluck , Lauren and Emily take a deep dive into their mutual love, respect, and adoration for television cook and author Ina Garten—otherwise known as the Barefoot Contessa. We break down Ina’s recent interview with our li’l diva antihero Lulu Garcia-Navarro, her “everyone’s welcome” ethos, her relationship with Martha Stewart, and more. Also in this episode, Emily talks about Lanterns on HBO, Lauren discusses the latest unsavory Taylor Swift rumor, and the Besties share their full Sterling Point review. Plus, Table Scraps featuring Adults on FX, the news that Leah Remini is joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , and the shocking revelation that Lauren doesn’t know the difference between a joint and a cigarillo.

Midwest Besties
Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode, the besties pour one out for Dolly and unpack Meghan and Harry’s messy move back to Britain. We get into TV news, including Hulu canceling Not Suitable for Work and the Gilded Age Season 4 trailer. Lauren discusses Brighton Butler’s surprise engagement (trigger warning: white woman nonsense), and Emily tackles the truly important issues by ranking her best chip-and-sandwich pairings.

FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
